The Danger of Loom Bands

You know those trending rubber bands that you can thread together to make all sorts of cool shapes? They're Loom Bands.
It turns out that Loom Bands, once in contact with sweat or saliva, can cause cancer, blood clots, and much  more scary illnesses.
Me and my sister were just opening a new set.. Suddenly, my Mom opened up a site called Kompas. We learnt that a 7 year-old boy suffered a blood clot when the band accidentally whacked his bare eyeball, and that many other children had rashes and itches.
These toys shouldn't be played with. Many 'fake' and un-tested bands are still being sold around the globe.
Just type in "the danger of loom bands" in Google, and you'll freak out.
So please just DON'T buy these, for your own sake!
The trending rubber bands that can be moulded into just about everything
