The deodorant is the world's best-selling male
grooming product, sold in 60 countries.
Dangerous over-use: Inhaling chemicals from
deodorant aerosols can cause skin reactions,
aggravate allergies and may trigger fatal heart
problems.
The primary target for spray deodorants is
thought to be 13 to 18-year-olds, with mums the
main buyers, according to Marketing Magazine.
So powerful is its hold on the teen market that
some teachers have gone on to online forums to
complain about it, sharing anecdotes about
having to teach through the fug of deodorant.
But some experts are concerned teenagers are
over-using deodorant, warning that inhaling
chemicals from the aerosols may cause allergic
skin reactions, asthma and breathing difficulties.
In very rare cases they may even trigger fatal
heart problems.
Maureen Jenkins, director of clinical services at
Allergy UK, says: "Around one in three adults in
the UK have some form of allergic disease -
asthma, rhinitis or eczema - and their symptoms
are easily aggravated by perfumed products and
exacerbated by aerosol chemicals.
Even people without allergies can be sensitive to
chemicals found in cleaning products or
toiletries, experiencing skin reactions, breathing
difficulties, nausea or headaches.
The reactions are made worse when it is an
aerosol as the fine mist is easily inhaled."
Dr Peter Dingle, an environmental scientist and
consultant toxicologist based in Perth, Australia,
says: "The labels on deodorant aerosols instruct
you not to use them in a confined space, but I
think it's safe to say most people in the UK aren't
going to go outside to spray on their
deodorants.
They would do it in the bathroom, most likely
with the door closed - and that's a confined
space.
In the middle of winter, you're not even going to
have a window open. If you watch a deodorant
advert, the young man usually sprays himself all
over his body, which is exactly what the can tells
you you're not supposed to do.

Self-image and smelling right is all important for
young men and there's a lot of peer pressure to
use these products."
This is something the Capewell family will be
reminded of for the rest of their lives.
Jonathan Capewell was just 16 when he died of a
heart attack in the bedroom of his home in
Oldham, Greater Manchester.
His 17-year-old sister, Natalie, raised the alarm
after finding her brother lying lifeless on his
bedroom floor.
"When we arrived at the hospital, they were still
trying to revive him," recalls his father Keith, 58.
"But about ten minutes later they said he was
gone. We were shocked. There had been no
warning. They asked if he had a heart condition
but there was nothing like that. He was a
perfectly normal, healthy boy."
A post-mortem examination showed Jonathan
had ten times the lethal amount of butane and
propane in his blood.
The gases are used as aerosol propellants and it
seemed they had built up in his body over many
months.
At first, it was feared Jonathan had been
engaging in solvent abuse - inhaling aerosol
solvents to obtain a "high" - but it seemed out of
character to all who knew him.
Keith says: "The coroner's investigator checked
the aerosols we had in the house but found
none of the signs of solvent abuse. He came to
the conclusion that Jonathan wasn't abusing."
The investigation turned to Jonathan's use of
deodorants. "He was 16 and his body was
changing," says Keith. "He was starting to sweat
more and worry about how he smelled. It wasn't
unusual for him to have two or three showers a
day."
Fatal use: Daniel Hurley died in his home in
Sandiacre, Nottingham, aged 12 when he
collapsed after using spray deodorant which
caused a cardiac arrhythmia
"Afterwards he would spray deodorant all over
his body, even in his hair, and the bathroom
was the smallest room in the house. He was a bit
obsessive and would have up to six different
types to choose from.
Sometimes we could smell the deodorant
downstairs and we'd joke: "Are you spraying that
up there or eating it?"
The coroner, Barrie Williams, ruled that
Jonathan's death was accidental, saying: "The 16-
year-old was a normal, healthy teenager who was
simply overcome by excessive use of
antiperspirants.
There was an exceptionally high use of
deodorant for personal hygiene. It was used in a
fairly confined space against the advice of the
canisters."
But how could accidentally inhaling aerosol
chemicals cause death? Jonathan Clague, a
consultant heart specialist at the Royal
Brompton Hospital, says: "The main cause of
death is usually suffocation, known as hypoxia.
If oxygen is not being breathed in and something
else is inhaled, such as chemicals, then
suffocation occurs and the heart stops."
After the inquest in 1998, Keith and Louise
struggled to come to terms with Jonathan's
death. "My daughter blamed herself because she
was in the house when it happened, even though
there was nothing she could have done,"says
Keith.
"I went back to work as a warehouse manager
after a couple of weeks but every time the phone
rang my hands started shaking and I'd be
transported back to that day, expecting more bad
news. I had to give it up."
It was two years before he could work again. He
adds: "It's been very hard to accept - Jonathan
was only 16 and hadn't even started out in life."
There are several warnings on the back of Lynx
canisters. Users are advised to "use in short
bursts in well ventilated spaces", to "avoid
prolonged spraying" and "keep out of reach of
children".
The British Aerosol Manufacturers Association
(BAMA) says propellants in household aerosol
products have been used safely for 40 years and
that 600 million aerosols are used each year in
the UK.
The association carried out its own research
after Jonathan Capewell's death, but says it was
"unable to reproduce the conditions which
could lead to harmful or fatal effects from
excessive spraying of aerosol products in a
confined space".
Dr Dingle says: "It's not enough for the
authorities to say, It's OK, there's a warning on
the back of the can.
I would advise teenagers to stick to roll-on
deodorant, preferably one of the natural ones."
The Capewells are also calling for better
awareness of the risks of aerosol deodorants.
"Our youngest son Nathan was four when
Jonathan died and as soon as he was old
enough to use deodorant we drummed into him
that he had to open the windows and only use
short bursts.
He's 20 now and he does that to this day,
wherever he is," says Keith.
"I'd like to see warnings on the front of the can,
like there are for cigarettes and alcohol. Because
we know first hand that deodorants can be just
as fatal."

It is very easy to crticise others. All I'll say is this: It'd do us & the world a whole lot of good if we examined ourselves & set ourselves right with God.

Anyone going for M.A. English? Please holla.

clean bold 5 @ 37k. pm me.

curve 7 for sale @ 18k. Lagos.

I've got a bb curve7 for sale @ 18k & a Samsung galax y duos @ 17k.
swap option may be considered.

For me there're several, but the one I find most sickening and denigrading is the coca cola 'Africa Let's go crazy' ad. I wonder how it was censored. Several unwholesome meanings could be read into it.
If some dude wants to be looney, methinks he should do it solo!

Pls I want to know hw much a curve 7 battery is.

A lot of people are unsure about the God's stand on this.
An acknowledgement of one's sinful nature/state, believing that Jesus Christ died for one's sins and confessing such are what takes one to heaven. Acts of service earn you a crown(i.e rewards).
As per the post, see Deut. 22:5. It doesn't mention trousers. In certain cultures, what we call trousers is women clothing. The questions are : Are u wearing tight fitting/body revealing clothing; Is wt u r putting on likely to make u/odas sin?; does it portray u in a gud light?
Wt d u define as makeup/cosmetics? IMO powders,creams/pomade, soaps are all makeup items. What do u wit d make up? Is it modestly done? ... m tired mehn.

Kslib: Stupid facts you mean.. Do you even know what the word "fact means".. I might agree with no 1 cos it might have been proven. You said "all men are cheats,if yours havent cheated,just wait". How is that a fact? So you mean there is no single man out there who is faithful to his wife on planet earth? Abeg carry this stupid facts comot here..
Call them assumptions not facts.. Like i said, some stuffs on the lists are facts but there are also stupid assumptions on that list you call facts..

Said my mind. prolly this fellow doesn't know wot facts are.

How is someone 'armed' with a toy gun?
Though, legally, that can't be accepted as an extenuating factor.
Sorry case.

eddy1234: YOU NEED SOM1 HIGHER IN THE SPIRIT TO TEACH AND GUID U SO U DNT MAKE ERRORS.U CNT KNO EVRYTHIN.YOU HAVE YOUR TEXT BOOKS,WHY DO U STILL GO TO SCHOOL?

Aifey: 4me Religion is a scam. U go 2church 4some 1 to teach u wht is writen in d book ure holdin. The pastors kn this whts y they liv a liv of luxury n collect tith 4rm people. We suffer because of religion in this country.

I'm not trying to hold fort for those who hide under the cloak of 'religion' to commit nefarious acts.
I also don't think that the actions/inactions of others should turn one away from God even as I acknowledge that we have certain responsilities to one another.
The bottom line is this I do not accept the words of any man that contradict the bible.
@post church gives me an avenue for service & refreshing (iron sharpens iron).
