keep the methylisothiazolinone away from your rats
a news release from the university of pittsburgh medical college suggests that methylisothiazolinone interferes with neuron development in rats.
methylisothiazolinone is “an antimicrobial agent found in many shampoos and hand lotions and widely used in industrial settings.” so, before you go shampooing your smart rats, read the label on the shampoo.
personally, i think the whole anti-bacterial anti-microbial thing is a bad idea.
