Re: [RC] Formaldehyde...?!?!! - Amy

MSDS for formaldehyde...

I didn't think they were allowed to use it in school anymore.

Subject: [RC] Formaldehyde...?!?!!



Years ago, there was a hoof hardener, later marketed as a finger nail
strengthener, named Barielle.  The original formula included formaldehyde.
That ingredient was banned because of it's known health risks.  At least

in

New York, where I teach high school, formaldehaye is not allowed in

schools

for the same reason.  Lab specimens now come preserved in a rubbery
preservative.

Why would I want to use formaldehyde on my horse, given that it could be
absorbed into her bloodstream, let alone run the risk of absorbing or
ingesting any myself?  I don't see the logic here.

Befuddled,
Julie
