a warning to every one
ewhhh... dont know how you find this, but its really yuckky for me........
i dont know if this was posted already here, but just want to warned everyone...
Beware if & when your Wife, Daughter, Niece or Girlfriend are travelling to China ,
just inform them to be careful when they are buying hair-bands down
the road. Who knows, what it is made from???????
These Hair-bands were made from used condoms and threads.
That was so disgusting, I would not want to use them!!
BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair-bands in southern China , threatening to spread sexually-transmitta ble diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday
In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.
'These cheap and colourful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ... threatening the health of local people,' it said.
Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said.
'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying.
A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 fen (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said.
A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was illegal.
China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both domestic and foreign markets.
In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.
I just checked out the pics! Well I suppose it there is a remote possability of catching it if the bodily fluid remained in the used condom. That being said - I wouldn't be buying any!!!
I mean that's probably true - the recycling bit - but there is no way you could possibly catch AIDs from that. The AIDs virus does not transmit this way! It does not survive exposure to air.
How about condoms from there? is it also recycle?
good question FATCAT...
Hey, what about the chopsticks?? Have you heard that issue? Yes, wooden chopsticks.. they don't wash it in China. Haha!
I still love Chinese food either way!!
REMIND NOT TO BUY CHINESE MADE CONDOMS, THEY MIGHT CHOKE MY "PETER" TO DEATH!
And let's dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.
Help save the planet. this is recycling at its best..
hmm.. now u know how stuff is cheap.. also now u know that u shudnt buy everything thats chinese...
as u read the story, u know it's fake.
AIDS does not pass through that way, the virus hardly live 60 seconds in air....
while, there are always someone trade other ppl's health for money. we need a lot improvement, no doubt.
but don't worry, China do have strict control on exported products (for a long strategy, LOL, like Microsoft). And I guess only I use the simple hair-band, other Chinese girls use more luxurious bands. hehe
Although this is disgusting Jasskat is right. You canot get AIDS that way.
