at some point (i don't know when) i heard about asbestos in old office buildings. at some other point, i saw flocked christmas trees... my obvious conclusion was that flocked christmas trees were covered in asbestos. i avoided them and thought people who were willing to so sacrifice their health just to have a fluffy tree quite dumb. eventually i realized that this couldn't be true, but i still don't like them and avoid them.
