Chemicals Found In Popular Household Products Linked To Multiple Sclerosis

Two chemicals found in common household products like disinfectants and furniture may play a role in the development of neurological disorders like autism and multiple sclerosis, according to a new study, adding to previous research that found the chemicals may be detrimental to human health.

The researchers examined over 1,800 common household chemicals—which they believe lacked research on their potential link to brain health—and discovered two that may have a negative effect on brain health: quaternary ammonium compounds (also called “quats” or QACs) and organophosphate flame retardants, according to the new study published Monday in Nature Neuroscience.

Quats are found in products like body washes, fabric softeners, shampoos, sunscreens, baby wipes, shaving creams and disinfectants like some Lysol, Clorox and Downy products.

Oh my gosh. That makes so much sense. I have been reacting violently to these products for years. They first gave me severe asthma attacks and later neurological problems. I avoid them. Anyone who uses those products cant come in my house.

I try to buy mostly organic, non toxic cleaning supplies and personal care supplies.
