Question

Teflon (trtrafluoroethylene) a product commonly found in

Dupont products contains a product called polytetraflouethylene (PTFE) this poison is not only found in the fumes of teflon products but other products as well. Like carbon Monoxide PTFE is an odorless and silent killer, and travels through the air unnoticed, in human it causes flu like symptoms in bird it PTFE KILLS. All birds have sensitive respiratory systems and PTFE poisoning causes a traumatic and painful death. PTFE is commonly found in:

Non-Stick cookware, Irons w/ non-stick sole plates, portable heaters, stir fryers/ woks, pizza pans, self- cleaning ovens, bread makers, curling irons, hair dryers, cookie sheets, crock pots, deep fryers, and much more.

I accidently killed my baby because I used a new curling iron and burned his lungs, he was dead within hours, it was awlful to watch he couldn't even hold his head up, like he had a stroke. Please pass the word so that no one else goes through what I just did,

You might add that scented candles, incense and any kind of tobacco (or other) smoke is even MORE harmful and even more COMMON in the average house. This, above anything else, is what causes the "mysterious" deaths of pet birds.
