Uhm, guys, the skin is not a plastic wrap but a organ; it absorbs substances. And while some can be bad for the skin (like, causing rash or cancer), some others can get into the blood stream this way. And some plastic softeners (of earpieces for example) are not allowed in most markets for this very reason.

Not about the article but about some of the comments here.
