livingentity 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2003 I was not sure where to ask this question so I am putting it here. I get packages from friends in India and have noticed that books and other printed items (beadbags etc) have a very very strong smell. Is it the ink or some sort of process used in the printing? I am very sensitive to things like that and sometimes have an allergic reaction to the items. I have started putting my books etc outside for a couple of days to "air" out. Has anyone else ever noticed this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
