Have you tried to buy any talcum powder lately? I can't find it anywhere these days. I'm afraid that the connection to ovarian cancer has caused the suppliers to stop selling it.

FWIW, apparently asbestos occurs naturally in the talc, and that is the underlying problem (along with the powder suppliers being aware but not informing customers).

Anyway, I wonder if talc is what's actually used in the Brodak...
