[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 191137, member: 1697"] Yes, we trashed the clothes, but hard to trash can her hair, :-) so are trying to still get smell off her hair. Yes, the clothes are just NOT worth the dangers, I agree totally. altho at the moment now, we have no water at all, grr.so she has to shower at bfs house.....yes, I gave her dawn dish soap for her hair.it helped a little.
