... ahahha. The power of recycling. damn.

BTW I'm not a pathologist, but I do know that most bacteria and viruses cannot survive longer than 12 hours outside of a host (i.e. human body). Check this out:

How long can HIV survive outside the human body?
Colorado AIDS Project | FAQ
The HIV virus is very fragile outside the body, but it can live from several minutes to several hours on the surface of objects in the environment, depending on the situation and environmental factors. The potency of the virus outside the body diminishes over time, but the virus must get directly into the bloodstream to infect anyone. Most household cleaners such as soap, bleach or peroxide will kill it. When cleaning any blood spills, use universal precautions.

I'm just saying this to temper some of the emotions in this thread--if detergents can kill the virus, then proper cleaning and washing of the latex (plus babad in various cleansing solutions) could very well kill the germs/viruses. The question now is, are the assembly houses/factories of these hairbands applying these strict cleaning measures to ensure that the latex is pathologically sterile? Mao ni akong question. Pero if it can be proven that the bacteria/viruses do die in the cleaning process, then I see this news as nothing more than anti-China hype.

Do you know that most of the drinking water in developed countries (and perhaps also in some urban areas of the Philippines) comes from recycled sewage (i.e. tubig from the septic tank) from water treatment facilities? And people keep saying "Yuck" or "Eeeww". *shakes head* Most people don't even know half the substances in what they eat/drink daily.
