Cellulose is a carbohydrate, a fairly inert component of plants. Cellulose insulation, however, is far from inert. It is such a complex mixture of chemicals that it would be virtually impossible to determine an accurate listing of components. The primary ingredients are ground newspapers and boron compounds such as boric acid and borax. While newspapers consist mainly of cellulose that is derived from trees, they contain a wide variety of potentially toxic chemicals.

Allergies is very serious disease..Allergic reactions occur to normally harmless environmental substances and these reactions are acquired, predictable, and rapid.
That’s the biggest misconceptions about allergies most have.
THey think you have no control over this, when it fact
it is something that is acquired most of the time.
A good site! Certain weather conditions such as deep depressions causing cyclones, can generate a storm surge, called Meteor, which can raise the tides of several feet above normal levels.it is to give the reason for many harmful for the country.
Allergies can be really serious. Some people have them for years and don’t know how or why they are getting it. Imaging having allergies from simple things like newspaper. Makes me wonder if the method of Dr. House when he raids patient’s houses to see what they have around the house that causes their sickness is effective.
Fortunately I do not have allergies. But allergies sometimes make me confused, once when my son was a kid, he cannot eat eggs, soy, and fish. But the more he grows, the allergy is gone, he slowly began to consume eggs, soy, and fish. Does this affect his immune system huh?
I think allergy refers to an exaggerated reaction by our immune system as a response to bodily contact with certain foreign substances. My son has experienced allergies and he felt itchy all over his body. Whether asthma is also caused by allergies?
