Well Ladies, I just recently took a shower in Katelyn's shower and I could smell a difference in the room while showering with the cloth curatin. It smells 'non chemically' and when I would take a shower with the vinl curtain, I did notice it but it benver dawned on me that it was the vinyl. I even notice the smell they make after I put them in the garbage can. I CAN smell something....yuck!

Tina- be careful with products that say they are mold resistant or are antibacterial or have sunscreen built in. That sometimes means they have chemicals added to the fabric itself and can outgas for quite some time.

Thank you Farmgirls!
I will tell you what prompted me to think about htis. My youngets daughter has headaches. I took her to an MD and he thought possibly allergies but sent us to an opthmologist (MD of the eyes). He thought the same thing, so allergy pills were dx'ed. She went to france for a couple fo weeks and did nto take her allergy pills (took but didnt use) and had no headaches. Thinking allergey season was over for her, she didnt take the meds when she first came back. After a few days, she got the headaches and took the rx again. All of sudden it dawned on me that it could be the shower curatin. I wonder how long the vinyl emits the problems??? oh well, it doent matter, my kid isnt going to be the guinea pig to determine the time frame.....
