Anti-microbial products like triclosan have multiple long term effects on humanity in addition to the ones you've outlined here. First off, most people don't use anti-microbials correctly. They don't wash for the right length of time, or they don't rinse well enough, or they don't follow the instructions given. Furthermore, people believe that because they're using antimicrobial products, they don't have to clean their homes or toys as well as they used to. These two problems are part of what gives rise to superbugs. Furthermore, these antimicrobial products have become an integral part of North American culture, causing people to buy and use them without really understanding them in order to be "cleaner". In essence, it's a prime example of magical thinking. Donald from Hypotonia

I become ill whenever the other people at work in the office use their scented (BBB? or whatever) hand sanitizers which they apply constantly. I have had miganes rashes edema and disorientation and finally breathing probs with facial swelling when they moved me to my own office downstairs.
The office has an indoor pond which I believe they are treating with bleaches and antifungal agents and the fumes seep everywhere. People c’o HA and other women in other offices are being bothered by the perfumes etc as well.I have to wear a mask several days each week. No one will do anything. Who can I report these issues to?
Thank You.
