Anti-Microbial Fabrics, Anti-Yeast Infection, Anti-Bacterial & Anti-Whatever Else! Why are manufacturers doing this? Are they really interested in protecting us or is this a sales technique allowing them to stand out in the market place to get more market share? And, unfortunately these tactics are at our expense, as we are often reacting to these chemicals. Lots of itching, rashes, back pain, and headaches. Actually, it could be any reaction ….. really!
