Growing up in lake tahoe, we would spray "Scotch Guard" on tons of things, to make them 'waterproof' in winter, like all our ski gear, and even some furniture.

Scotch Guard is basically 'spray teflon' and is super toxic for you, but in the 80s we were encourdaged to spray it all over the place.

- eecc 3y agoThat reminds me of an occasion as a kid in the 80s, when I sprayed some kind of impermeabilizer on a jacked. I fell ill for a whole day, face glowing red, from the exposure. Might be a good idea to check if I have been exposed to some of this rubbish
