  1. Paranoia ! No need to over do it by any means , Our bodies have a natural barrier that keeps germs at bay , keep washing it off and you have opened the pores to accept ………simple common sense

  2. Calls doubled in March so doesn’t really have anything to do with trump. Trump only said that in mid April. Using to much chemicals. Human skin absorb it so then it will get only worse.

    1. @Ron Unrau No one here said it was because of him. The channel is Canadian. 🇨🇦

    1. @Dappskee it’s in the video, and drop down menu. It’s data from poison control centre calls, and Health Canada reports.

  3. Sale of hazordous cleaning products go through the roof in late Feb/March + Kids are at home all day = More poisoning from cleaning products. No one is to blame, other than Darwin.
