Homemaking Dangerous? By MRS. KAY LEIDING Extension Home Agent Many household cleaners are poisonous materials. Are you as cautious as you should be about reading directions, using and storing these home cleaning aids? Several newspaper reports the last couple of months Indicate that women are mixing house hold chemicals. Three home makers were found dead on the bathroom floor from no appar ent cause. The newspaper ac count did not say that these women were cleaning, but it is quite possible they were. Many of our cleaning powders now contain chlorine, which, when combined with some of the toilet bowl cleaners forms cyan ide gas deadly poison. In a recent Issue of the New England Journal of Medicine a group of St. Louis physicians re ported that three deaths oc curred after Inhalation of a hair spray. Nine other cases recov ered. The authors stated that evi dence points strongly toward the fact that inhalation of this par ticular type or hair spray by susceptible persons will cause thesaurosis. The disease Is char acterized by lesions In the lungs and lymph nodes. Spray paint can state "use outdoors or in a properly venti lated room". This is indeed Im portant. Where spray paints are used Indoors a lan should be placed so that air flows from above the hepd of the ust and keeps the air surrounding his face clean. The above messa wasn't a very pleasant way for me to wish you a happy new year. I do hope you will have a SAFE and HAPPY 1963. This Is the time of year to take stock of our family and personal life.
