Re: What used products do you buy?

I loved aluminum. This was before the internet
and so I knew you could get mercury poisoning
and lead poisoning but aluminum poisoning was
off my radar. Besides the world was full of
aluminum. It is in tons of products, baking
soda, toothpaste, underarm antiperspirant~!

I had airplane aluminum furniture, I used
Magnalite aluminum cookware, and had those
old vintage aluminum bowls, glasses, cups
and even flatware. I used aluminum pie pans,
baking sheets, and the cannisters which held
my coffe, sugar, flower and tea all were made
of spun aluminum.

I drank my beer, soda and V-8 juice out of
aluminum cans...

Needless to say, when I was checked, I had the
worst case of aluminum poisoning the doctor
had ever seen. It was OFF the chart.

Stay away from mercury, unknown liquids, asbestos,
items with lead paint, anything that smells funky,
or has an unknown residue. Often, over time, the
composition of things can degrade and it is difficult
to know what it is now. Someone did find an old fruit
cake once in an attic. It was over 30 years old and
looked as fresh as the day it was received. Scary~!

be happy, be well,
