Well, I never though my fish would burst into flames either but this does not make me very happy:

"It is unclear what impact the regular absorption of PBDEs has on human health. Nor have scientists established safe levels for the chemicals in humans."

Thanks.

I was listening to talk radio on the way home from work that same day and they were discussing it. Now they're calling for a ban on these chemicals. Guess we'll see what happens.

The thing that bothers me is that they're concentrated in the fat and with LCing being high fat.... that worries me.
