you might be wearing recycled condoms in your ponytail…
Yikes - this is just too gross… and unfortunately true! I don’t normally post forwarded warnings, but I checked this one out at Snopes and they confirmed the story.
Some cheap hair elastics are being made from condoms - possibly even used condoms.
Ewwww eeewwww eeeewwww.
“BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday
In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.
‘These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well …. threatening the health of local people,’ it said.
Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said.”
