Reddit Comments - You Know They're Honest!
“It does a very good job pulling the smoke out of the pores. With regular soap, I'll often start smelling like smoke the next time or two I sweat. I don't have that issue with Flame.”
“I thought it was gimmicky at first but I’ve been using it for a few years and it really gets the smell out.”
“It's got a ton of charcoal in it, and a slightly minty smell. You can smell the smoke in the lather when using it.”
FIREFIGHTERS INCREASED RISK
Causes of Increased Risk
Exposure to carcinogens: Heavy smoke contains over 200 known carcinogens that can penetrate protective gear.
Modern materials: Newer synthetic materials and construction methods contribute to higher levels of toxins and carcinogens.
PFAS and foams: Firefighting foams can introduce persistent compounds like PFAS that accumulate in the body.
Exposure routes: Toxins can enter the body through the skin (neck, armpits, groin, wrists, ankles), by inhalation, and ingestion.
Cancer is the most dangerous threat to firefighter health and safety today.
Cancer caused 66 percent of the career firefighter line-of-duty deaths from 2002 to 2019, according to data from the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). Heart disease caused 18 percent of career LODDs for the same period.
Cancer caused 70 percent of the line-of-duty deaths for career firefighters in 2016.
Firefighters have a 9 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than the general U.S. population, according to research by the CDC/National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH).
Cancer is the most dangerous threat to firefighter health and safety today.
Firefighters’ risks are significantly higher for some specific types of cancer than the general population.
In 2013, NIOSH researchers reported a two-fold excess of malignant mesothelioma, a very rare cancer. Put another way, firefighters have a 100 percent increased risk (100 percent = double = 2 times) of getting mesothelioma. Firefighters have a 129 percent increased risk of dying from mesothelioma. A 2006 meta-analysis by Grace LeMasters of 32 firefighter cancer studies noted a two-fold excess for testicular cancer. Firefighters have a 62 percent higher risk of getting esophageal cancer, and they have a 39 percent increased risk of dying from esophageal cancer, according to the NIOSH research.
Here’s an overview with some specific additional risks for firefighters noted:
testicular cancer – 2.02 times the risk (again: 100% = double = 2 times);
mesothelioma – 2.0 times greater risk;
multiple myeloma -1.53 times greater risk;
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma – 1.51 times greater risk;
skin cancer – 1.39 times greater risk;
malignant melanoma – 1.31 times greater risk;
brain cancer -1.31 times greater risk;
prostate cancer – 1.28 times greater risk;
colon cancer -1.21 times great risk; and
leukemia – 1.14 times greater risk.
Cancer is the most dangerous threat to firefighter health and safety today.
Reduce your risk by removing the carcinogens from your skin, wearing your SCBA, and washing your hands. For more practicals tips reach out.
