Just a convenient location to drop a note OT; not really a reply to P_L's accurate post:<br><br>There are pesticides in many trashbags - typically the "consumer" ones used to line household trash cans and the curbside ones. I do not believe that the large "contractor" types have any pesticide. However... IIRC, there may be some amount of lead in pigmented bags not intended for food use, especially if point of origin is Asia. If there is a great deal of doubt or concern, get mylarŪ bags (polyester film) - a bit more expensive, but much tougher and not nearly as flammable. They are available in about any size, clear, opaque, metalized, etc. and specifically are food grade. As an example, a 36" x 52" 4.5 mil (very thick) polyester film bag is a standard size and costs about 6-7USD per bag in small quantities (less than 10).<br><br>MylarŪ bags are a bit less bulky (it takes a thinnner film to give equal or better strength) and lighter than conventional "trash bags" and handle temperature extremes better as well - food for thought. "Emergency space blankets" are metalized mylarŪ...<br><br>Just my 2 cents worth... HTH<br><br>Tom
