Depends on the product you are using!
Depending on the compounds its bonded with, PE's level of toxicity and flammability varies considerably. There are concerns about two versions of the compound in particular, both of which are often used for medical and consumer purposes. Polyethylene-glycol (PEG), which acts as a binding agent for many drugs and is also found in products like shampoo and toothpaste, can cause allergic reactions in certain individuals. Some people experience nausea, flatulence, and diarrhea after being exposed to it, while others get a hives-like rash. The elderly seem to be particularly prone to these side effects.
In addition, harmful chemicals - including the plasticizer phthalate - may leach from polyethylene-terephthalate (PET), which has been widely used in the plastic bottling industry. Phthalate is associated with hormonal imbalances, increases in Allergies, and reduced fertility. Some studies show that it may also contribute to the development of obesity and Breast cancer.
