Re: butterflies, etc now chemical contaminants

He's a attendant counselor, which means a counselor/ nurses aid combination.
Maybe good wishes from you guys will tip the scale in his favor. You are a
powerful bunch.

As for the water can it be safe to wash in? As you know skin is a organ and
permeable to so extent. I think I would rinse those dishes just because it
would make me feel better. I don't know if soap would break down the
chemical residue. I do know if I get gas on my hands it seems to take
forever to get rid of the smell.

Good luck, hope it clears up soon.
