Boy dies after using too much deodorant
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/11/21/1226770737888.html

November 22, 2008

LONDON: A 12-year-old English boy collapsed and died from heart problems after spraying too much deodorant in the family bathroom.

Daniel Hurley was overcome by the solvents in the can and collapsed in the bath. He died five days later in hospital.

An inquest heard that Daniel died from cardiac arrhythmia, or abnormal heart rhythms, caused by solvents in the Lynx Vice spray.

Unilever, which makes Lynx, warns on the cans against over-spraying and says it must be used in well-ventilated places.


Why oh why do we insist on using too many chemicals on and in our bodies and houses?
