So I recently started working with a company that gets thier uniform polo shirts from HPI. The first few weeks I got to wear regular t shirts until my Walgreen's polos came in. Well...within a few hours of me wearing one of my polos..my neck, lower scalp amd back started to itch prefusely. At first I thought maybe it was caused by the dry, winter air. Then it got worse. The back of my neck recieved a chemical burn...which turned into a scar. The lower half of my scalp was itching and covered in hives. And my back along with my wrists were itching. I did some research...and come to find out almost all companies who make fire retardant, polyester shirts cleanse and process them in toxic chemicals such as Formeldahyde. Not to mention polyester is not breathable. It repels sweat...which causes the chemicals to absorb into your skin. Polyester has been known to cause contact dermatitis. In between the fibers are pieces of animal fur or micro fibers. A lot of people break out from polyesyter. From company processed materials. So....next time you decide on purchasing these shirts for your company...do your research. I am not one to complain about things. But I do cherish my health.
