Title: Aerosol Deodorants
Post by: marge on August 10, 2018, 02:02:52 PM

There have been discussions in the past about roll-on deodorants and breast cancer, but I wondered if there have been any warnings about unintentionally inhaling fumes from aerosols and if this can have harmful effects on our lungs.  I know household cleaners have been discussed and the jury seems to be out on them.

I thought it was the aerosol deodorants that we're linked with cancer and the roll on ones were fine?

Never liked the aerosol type. Too wet. Have always used the stick type but not the roll on type.

I don't think it's worth getting hung up about. A bit of a 'first world`problem if you ask me.
