He said I was close to hospitalization. He put me on an intense antibiotic protocol, then extended prednisone. It was likely caused by the water used in preparing those cloths; I needn’t tell you where they were made. He informed the Health Unit.
Suffice it to say, after that horrid experience, I no longer shop for anything from $stores that I have to apply to face nor body and that includes bath, shower, soap products from there. Having done a lot of reading (something like that does that to you), no phalates, parabens, artificial colours or smaller size products that sell for less. I wish I had been more diligent sooner, particularly for my family.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know what can happen…it sure scared the daylights out of me; I don’t want the same thing to happen to anyone else.
