Last spring, before reading Cliff's articles or coming here, I bought cotton swabs (from China) at the Dollar Tree. I bought them for the container itself and planned to throw out the swabs (I'm a Q-Tip elitist). They got set aside and I forgot about them
I found that container last week and put some of the swabs under the black light just out of curiosity.
About 25% of the swabs had very brightly glowing tips.
When I say tips, I mean the very end of the swab - only - not the entire body of the swab. They looked like little swirled glowing targets placed ever so carefully on the ends - the ends that would penetrate deepest into your ear. Yuck.
So, how is it that only the very tips glowed? Would that mathematically fit into the category of random chance or coincidence? Or maybe it is a characteristic the growing/morphing fibers? Would it have to be rather intentional for such intricate weaving of fibers so that only the very endpoints were glowing?
I must have missed the History Channel special on cotton swabs (grin) so I don't know how they're made. I couldn't bear to view under the scope. Maybe later...they were added to the collection (grin again).

Also beware of the square cotton make-up remover pads. Same deal.

Ohappyday. What country did those T Shirts come from that you told me about? Did you keep any evidence? A copy of the box or can you get the invoice and one or two of the shirts? Thinker, maybe its time we started sending this stuff to CDC or customs and ask them to investigate.

Hi Gracebeours,
I not only have the invoice, I took pictures of the crates. I can get a shirt whenever they need it we still have 1000 or more.
