Totally bizarre and foul: Used condoms are being recycled to make hair bands in China. According to the AFP these "materials" could spread sexually transmitted diseases to hair band users. Right, the same sexually transmitted diseases we use condoms to prevent. Surprise ladies, your hair band has genital warts!
OK so we are repulsed, but a little skeptical. According to this site, there's a used condom inside that hair band, but the "dermatologist" who claims these hair bands spread "AIDS" might be a bit of a Dr. Nick. And that's how we know we've got a real disgusting story on our hands. Even if it's only half true and there are no real health risks, we still want to throw up before jumping in a chemical shower.
