[Histonet] Xylene/Paint Thinner

2013-02-07 Thread White, Lisa M.
If you look on the paint thinner isle at your local Lowe's.  You will
find Xylene on the shelf.  The first time I saw it was a shock.  Wonder
if the home improvement  weekend warriors know what they are getting all
over their hands?

I have to admit, I don't mind the smell:) But I also like the smell of 
gasoline, and I know both are bad for me!

Thanks again to everyone who has offered feedback on this topic. Rene, I have 
printed out a few of the articles you've written and am anxious to research 
these methods more. Thanks a bunch!

Best,
Adrienne

[Histonet] Xylene/Paint Thinner

2013-02-06 Thread Parker, Helayne
I have a colleague who is convinced paint thinner is exactly the same as 
the SubX we use. Does anyone know if this is true?
Haha- funny you should say that.  I always swore that Mitaban (for canine 
demodex mange) was made out of xylene.  Almost looks like watered down xylene.  
Well I checked the MSDS and it is but only the inactive ingredient part at a 
high %.  On a lighter note that orange fragrance d-limonene flea dip is 
basically the same stuff as the Americlear is.
