But these flame retardants are often sprayed on FOAM so one way to avoid them is to not buy new products with any foam in them, especially baby products (like strollers, etc.) It turns out we INHALE and IMBIBE this stuff because it comes off in the air and in our mouths.

I followed the Cape results with interest. So amazing (but not surprising) how the votes switched around the Orleans rotary. Like two different worlds out there over the bridges. Too bad it was only a 25% turnout in Wellfleet.
