So, i actually learned something in school.
Most of you I'm sure are as unaware as I was of the dangers of teflon, a common component in stoveware. Teflon is usually harmless, however it becomes an extremely toxic gas when heated. UH, yeah, HEATED...... like when we use our teflon coated frying pans! Many environmental groups are trying to get teflon production banned, as it is really harmful to the environment, AND US! If the surface of your pan gets scratched, the teflon released and consumed will permanantly stay in your body! I've attached a link with some scary facts, but it looks like we should get rid of our teflon coated cookware, the sooner the better! The price we pay for modern conveniance, eh?
An extra note to any of you who keep birds as pets:
Birds are extremely sensitive to the chemicals released when teflon is heated, a mere two or three close exposures could kill a household pet!
Google it guys! And check out some other household items that might be leading to your unexplainable headaches or fatigue!
