Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Bird Lovers, be aware of the dangers of Teflon coated cooking utensils! If you keep birds as pets, you may be endangering their health and well being, by exposing them to certain deadly chemicals, produced by heated Teflon. When Teflon coated cooking utensils and other non-stick fluoro- derived cookware, are heated, they release dangerous chemicals, which birds are especially sensitive to. The effect of these compounds on our feathered friends is tragic, inadvertently poisoning them. Results of one or a few exposures of this sort, in birds, is irreversible kidney and lung damage resulting in death. There is also ongoing research that indicates that exposure to these compounds pose potential health risk to humans over time, also. These compounds are said to be classified as potentially carcinogenic. Do yourself and your feathered friends a favor, (avoid the canary in the mine syndrome)please dispose of your Teflon or non-stick cookware.
