Eczema Flareups Traced to Chinese Furniture

Filed Under Eczema Treatment, Eczema News, Eczema Allergy, Eczema Causes | Leave a Comment

I just came across more news related to the manufacture of unsafe furniture. If you are into Chinese furniture or furniture that is made in China, then you may want to be on the look out if you are intending to buy new ones or have recently bought one. A fungicide used to prevent mold may be the cause of several thousand cases of aggravated eczema in northern Europe, Swedish researchers report. The culprit is linked to a substance known as chemical dimethyl fumarate. Investigations are underway to trace Swedish companies that are selling the furniture.

But what about Singapore or the rest of the world? Are the health authorities in all countries alerted? Manufacturers need to be vigiliant about what harmful chemicals are being used in the products that they sell. There has to be social responsibility in this. If they continue to sell these dangerous products, then they need to be tracked down and handed a stiff warning and a severe fine if need be.

Eczema and allergy cases are on the rise. More can be done to help arrest the increasing number of cases. At the same time,I feel sad that the method of conventional treatment continues (at least from Singapore) to be one based solely on drugs.

If you want to have beautiful skin and reduce your risk to frequent eczema outbreaks, then obviously having a non-toxic lifestyle helps. One of the ways leading to a healthier way of living is through the diet that you eat.
