Are fabric dyes dangerous? Are dyes that tend to bleed when washed more
dangerous than dyes that don't bleed? Is the intensity of the bleeding of the
color a factor we should consider when using a cloth? Are fabrics that tend to
bleed profusely dangerous to our health? If the bleeding is associated with
health problems, then are there certain categories of fabrics (for instance,
silk) that tend to bind more strongly their dye molecules and therefore are less
dangerous for our health???
