In everyday life we invite illnesses with small things. In which shops or mall receipts are also responsible. After buying anything, we take the bill. So this bill is found in the form of a paper receipt. We take this receipt in hand. These receipts can cause many ailments. Most bills are printed on thermal paper. There are chemicals like BPA or BPS. These chemicals cause illness from cancer to hormone imbalance.
Paper receipts

This increases the risk of PCOS, infertility and breast or prostate cancer. In most cases, it can also disrupt thyroid function. In addition, children may also be at risk of neurological problems like ADHD. BPA can affect anyone. But pregnant women, young children and adolescents can be more influenced. In children, these chemicals can affect mental development. In such a case, these receipts should be avoided.
