Housework might be bad for your health, according to a study suggesting that tidying up as little as once a week with common cleaning sprays and air fresheners could raise the risk of asthma in adults.

Exposure to such cleaning materials even just once a week could account for as many as one in seven adult asthma cases, the researchers wrote in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

Then I should be dead, Im a clean freak, cant help myself.
 
I already knew this.

I have a good friend who burned her hand on the oven and ended up in the hospital with a staph infection.

My MIL burned her hand ironing.

Another friend got a chemical burn from her bathroom cleanser.

I'll tell you, cleaning is just too dangerous these days and I'm NOT going to do it!!! :snooty:
