    This is what they found:

    Bisphenol A (BPA) appeared in 98% of samples, and its substitute, bisphenol S (BPS), was found in more than three-quarters. Synthetic chemicals used to stiffen plastic, BPA and BPS mimic the action of oestrogen inside organisms, causing a range of adverse effects

    It doesn’t say how much. Remember to only handle receipt paper with gloves and never wet hands. /s

    Seriously though, we should figure out as a society what is toxic.

        I have to live in a society. They should ban dangerous chemicals and consumer products, rather than making me wear gloves everywhere.

          It’s a shitty society though, that’s why the receipts are poison and I don’t touch them.

          Should they get rid of them? Fuck yeah!

          Do I have control over that? Sure don’t! I’m willing to bet you don’t either, but if you know someone who does, tell them I said to cut that shit out.

      You dismiss the dangers of these chemicals with your dumb joke, but it’s not funny outside of the colon of the billionaires where you are residing, even if it gets broad laughter inside the warm confines of the large intestine.
