I bought these for a few years, and was a bit puzzled by an odour on them. Then my daughter started complaining that they smelled of her brother. Around the same time I saw on another forum that one needed to wipe the tops over with an antibacterial solution to kill the sweat bacteria they picked up. It did seem to work wiping them over, but I was further put off when I found that these "natural" stones contained aluminium. (Wasn't that a Hulda Clark observation?) I hadn't been able to find out what the ingredients were, though had a surprise on one to see the word "alum". They are just standing in the bathroom cupboards now. What is potassium alum, then? Where do they get it from? To what degree can it be called natural?
