OT (maybe)...potential dangers of candles

[Guest guest]

hey angel,

 

i have actually made candles--a good idea btw...but i still wonder

about what makes a candle toxic...is parafin for instance by itself a

toxic thing? parafin is usually easier to get than beeswax so that

is what i've used in the past...but i seem to remember hearing bad

things about it...though i of course can't remember what!

luv laura
