Re: Tony Wahren’s letter ‘No pulling the wool’, Letters page 16, The Weekend Sun, July 13.
So well phrased Tony! I wonder if the Labour Government researched the health factors of synthetic underlay and carpets. To quote from just one site on the internet: “The properties of nylon are such that friction ie. walking across it causes a build-up - a static charge through the contact. The charge transfers to the body, so when you touch a metal object like a door knob; which conducts electricity you get a slight shock”. I also believe symptoms of nylon carpet allergy can cause skin irritation, tingling, burning, etc. and long term mental health effects.

If you Google the question: What type of carpet is best for people with allergies? You get this answer: "Nylon is the most effective allergy-controlling carpet fiber. Wool, conversely, should be avoided because allergens and mold can thrive in it." Is you bias against the government perhaps leading you to worry unnecessarily?
