I knitted a prayer shawl for a relative undergoing treatment for cancerI used Homespun yarn- 98% acrylic 2% polyesterWithin 3 hours of using it, she ended up in the hospital with a severe allergic reactionHas anyone ever had a similar experience? Someone said that yarns are sometimes treated with a sulfite solution to clean themShe is very allergic to sulpher Does anyone know if yarns are treated? I very much want to make her a new one, but am afraid of what could happenI'm heartbroken that something that was supposed to help heal, sent her to the hospital.Thanks for you help!
Read the label on the skeins of yarn that you usedIf the information isn't there, there should be corporate information from which you can find the phone number of the manufacturerCall them and ask about their productIf there's been a reaction, they need to know about it in any event because they need to put cautionary labeling on their product to disclose the guilty ingredient - if that information isn't already on the label.
My 10 yr old dog ate a half a tube of red oil paint and although he is now pink, he was fineI never ever thought he would eat a tube of paint… who would?
3% hydrogen peroxide 1 teaspoon for every 10 lbs NOW! Then call a 24 hour/emergency clinic and get your dog in! Next time keep that crap off the floor! Dachshunds can't jump high and don't have a good reach, putting the tube on a shelf or even your bed would have been goodEdit: I may not be the best pet owner, but when there's paint in a room the door is closed (whether in reach or not) and when I'm cooking they are in their cage or laying on the floor next to meI hate to sound rude, but you also didn't put the context in the question either.I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not psychicI hope your pup's ok
Call your vet or have a credit card number ready and call the National Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435A TU to the person suggesting the peroxidethe sooner after the dogs eats whatever, the more effective It may not be too badLinseed oil is original name for the flax seed oil found in many expensive dog foodsMany pigments are fairly inertThere hasn't been much lead in paint for a long time Yes we need to be careful, but accidents happenI understand Dachshunds can be very determined.
