Zhu Zhus and health

Kristine Jenkins, our ally and partner from the Environmental Health Strategy Center (and a speaker at our October P4p panel) sent me this link, after I confessed that my children got zhu-zhus (bizarre stuffed and chirping hamsters) for Christmas from a beloved aunt. Apparently they are somewhat hazardous to our health (beyond our mental health)... here's a good essay about why we should not need to be in the dilemma of worrying that holiday goodies are actually carcinogens. Stay tuned for more on this subject from Sandra Steingraber, as well.
