I did, I didn't realise that you could put a spin on chemistry. Also the toxicity, lethality, LD 50 doses, In one study, 110 men were exposed to a mean concentration of 361 ppm acetone for an average of 14.9 years. These men reported more heavy headedness, nausea, faintness, weight loss, eye irritation than a comparison group with no acetone exposure. They also did not perform as well on some neurobehavioural tests (reaction time and digit span tests). A few historical reports have also described long-term exposure effects such as irritation of the airways, throat, stomach and occasionally, dizziness, attacks of giddiness and a loss of strength.
Now this is interesting............. well, so as long as I don't have my clients sitting at my station for 14.9 years soaking of enhancements, I take it it is safe...............Well as the average soak off time is 20 minutes, and even if I do this once a month.......this comes to 240 minutes total, which is 4 hours per year......and that is taking soaking off to the extreme.........
The average busy well educated and well trained Tech, will soak off, half this amount of time..............
So where is your problem????
And I certainly wouldn't offer Acetone as a beverage.........
My clients stand more chance of suffering of any off the above mentioned ill effects , when going on their annual holiday......
1. heavy headedness, nausea, faintness............Sunstroke, to much alcohol and Sun
2. weight loss............Food poisoning, to much drink and greasy food
3. eye irritation.......to much Chlorine in the swimming pool
4. irritation of the airways, throat, stomach .....catching a cold, catching a tummy bug
5. and occasionally, dizziness, attacks of giddiness and a loss of strength......again bug, to much drink or food and partying......
And I added this one for good measure............
6. Like being stung by a huge jelly fish and having a heart attack, or a panic attack and/or severe burning of the skin...........
Good job they only expose themselves to these dangers only a couple a times a year........
Other wise holidays would have to go on the dangerous past time list......
So the occasional soak off with Acetone, by a trained and educated Technician should be a walk in the park..........
Saying that's......are there any dangerous dogs about...........
Well, never mind, if there are any mishaps we can always take the offending, unresponsible person to court and sue the hell out of them............
So anyway what is Doug going to tell me..... I have no problem with these products being used.....I have a problem with how they are described or proscribed.
Doug will tell ya to work smart and be educated about your products and know how to use them safely......page 31-32 in Nail Structure and Product Chemistry...............
