I threw out my two new teflon grills after I was getting consistently ill and a pattern began to be obvious….always the following day after using teflon grill. Many cold and flu symptoms lasing from 24 to 48 hours…enough to prevent me from going to work. Since I stopped using all teflon for cooking, this same illness has not happened again.

My husband who has done carpet laying for over 30 yrs was diagnosised with CLL Leukemia last year. When he was diagnosised we never thought it might be related to his occupation but now we are beginning to wonder. First of all he has a rare chromosome abnormality within the cancer cells. After checking online I have come across many references of carpet layers having health effects including luekemia, lung cancer, head aches, central nervous problems to just name a few. We have also read that 1000 different chemicals are used in the carpet industry. Having pulled up carpet all those years just think of all the chemicals you would come into contact with and breath in. Here are some web sites I came across.

I missed the 20/20 story on Teflon, but have read and heard other other reports. I find unfortunately, in attempts to share information with family and friends, my warnings have been shot down as urban legends or neglected because they have not experienced any ill effects themselves. Why are people so closed minded then cry and cry when something does finally happen to them.

I attempt to keep my life as green as possible. I never trusted teflon cookware. As we remodel our house we avoid as many chemical products as we can. This can be very costly, but well worth our health. If we want this chemical processing to end, we need to be willing to accept unemployment of many people and be willing to stop looking for convenience in every aspect of our life.

In response to Scott, how do you know that the information the Navy fed you was accurate? How do you know the Navy was given factual information?

If one has ever watched the wear of carpet over the years, have you ever wondered where do all those brokendown fibers go? Vacuuming sucks in some and spreads others around the house. They get on our skin and we breathe them into our bodies by direct contact and through the air.

The question is, when do we really choose to put an end to convenience and accept responsiblity for the choices we make? Just because it out in the market place does not mean it is good for us! Reasearch what what you can and judge for ourself. If it isn’t nature, it probably has some possible ill-effect even if it is minuscule.

What are herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals doing to your body when you ingest them?

I am not going to agree or disagree with the warnings in the articles or the commments above. I am however going to state a few personal facts. I have used teflon frying pans and pots for the last 12 years with absolutely no ill effects thus far unless you want to blame every flu virus I have ever had on a pot. If you search the internet you will find issues and warnings for everything from Swifter wet jet pads to tampex. At some point I think we just have to live for today and let tomorrow look after itself. I could be hit by a car quicker than I could get sick from Teflon poisoning.

I would like to know if carpet installers or people who have been selling carpet for years could be affected by this chemical? My husband has been in the carpet industry with stainmaster carpets for over 20 years and has very bad lung problems and the doctors have no answers as to why this occurred with him, could it be the perfluoroctanoic acid. What are the signs and symptoms of this syndrome?

I recently had suclavial bypass surgery due to an aneurysm caused by thoracic outlet syndrom. Gortex was used for the bypass. It was anticipated I would be clot-free, now that the problem was solved, but I recently was again hospitalized, because the gortex graft was clogged with clots. I wonder if there are others who have had a similar experience?
