First of all, collectively, from all the readers at The Labyrinth, our guest bloggers, and myself, Michellina van Loder, we would like to give Dr Anne Steinemann, Researcher and Immunologist, working at Melbourne University, a warm, humungous, thank you for all the time and dedication spent bringing these issues out into the public eye. I wish researchers like you to be given gold statues in honour of your service for all the sick people who have medical conditions impacted on by chemical irritants used in personal care and cleaning products. You are changing the world for us.
