There’s no need to fear thrift stores or hand-me-downs.
With sensible precautions, used clothing can be an affordable, practical, and environmentally friendly choice.
The smartest approach isn’t to ask whether every secondhand garment is dangerous.
It’s to ask a better question:
“Has this garment been properly inspected, cleaned, and stored before I wear it?”
If the answer is yes, you can enjoy the benefits of secondhand clothing without letting sensational headlines turn a simple hygiene issue into something frightening.
