a chemical wasteland (she reported gleefully)

Today I learned that if you unseal the door between your garage and your kitchen while you dry out your walls you can get increasingly bad heart palpitations before you figure out how bad it is, complete with a total lack of coordination, resulting in multiple bruises and a jumpy husband. And as long as you're busy reacting to things, you can learn that old light switches at my house are made out of some kind of bad plastic, and the newer flat switches my husband has been installing are much better.

In other news, the list of things that'll kill you is growing so quickly that articles can be out of date the day they appear, as happened with this list of things in your bathroom cabinet that'll kill you that said mouthwash with alcohol in it is ok. It turns out that alcoholic mouthwash will give you disfiguring oral cancer.
