Gonna wash that methylisothiazolinone right outta my hair!
This is really quite a frightening discovery.
And despite the media's usual knee-jerk "sky is falling" mentality, this not without merit. Admittedly, after reading this morning's article I quickly scanned the list, cross-checking my cupboards and medicine chest. Amazingly, although I had used some of the products in the past, none were in residence at present.
Having a healthy sense of cynicism, while I'll check labels for MITs in the future, I'm not running out for a CAT scan to hunt for brain tumors. At the same time, it does cause one to pause; Thalidomide was considered safe, more recently, so was Vioxx. To quote the article:
Whether long-term exposure to products containing MIT is dangerous is not known, Aizenman said. "Can I say that these products are safe to use? No," he said. "Can I say that these products are unsafe to use? No."
$10American says off the record this fella does not use products with MITs and would discourage his family and friends to cease use as well.
Perhaps my wariness is also compounded my current day gig. At present, I'm working for an ad agency with several drug companies as clients and I've seen first hand some of the crap they try to pull. The FDA does threaten fines and revocation of licensing, but as long as these companies have a toenail inside the foul line, most consider it all fair play and caveat emptor to the public.
