Don Chance Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I bought some t-shirt at Chachucuck market. Had to wash them twice to get the smell out. Surely something cancer armagedom causing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamboozled Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) It could be from the chemical dyes. What color were they? Black is the worst. Did a LOT of color come out in the wash? Now you'll tell me they were white and there goes my argument. ....ah well, scratch the whole thing: they were used shirts....my bad.

I'm sure that I read somewhere, that clothes like this are sprayed with formaldehyde (??) and/or a sort of permethrin to kill lice and bugs. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely something cancer armagedom causing? If you had to wash them twice to get the smell out, most probably naphthalene, the chemical used in mothballs. Dry cleaning fluid would be eliminated in the first wash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphthalene_poisoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This chemical is same one what they used to spray in the airplane cabins before landing. I think that the clothing is getting sprayed when it arrives in Thailand.

If your Thai is good enough, perhaps you can make inquiries of the Thai health authorities as to their treatment of imported secondhand clothing. Camphor and dichlorobenzene are other candidates, although AFAIK the smell of camphor is very similar to naphthalene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
