I'm happy for all of those people who get to go off their shots. That's great news!

But one thing I don't understand about this drug (which is known as dimethyl fumarate) is why it's not considered a poison? Dimethyl fumarate is also a biocide -- meaning it was applied to shoes and furniture to prevent mold growth. Hundreds of people got terrible rashes and allergic reactions from a load of couches that were made in China and elsewhere a few years ago.

As a result the European Union banned use of it in consumer products since 1998 and banned imports since 2009.

Wikipedia states "Dimethyl fumarate has been found to be an allergic sensitizer at very low concentrations, producing eczema that is difficult to treat. Concentrations as low as 1 ppm may produce allergic reactions.[40] There are only a handful of equally potent sensitizers."

So why would I ingest an anti-mold chemical? What makes BG-12 different than its biocidal form?
