Touching Receipt Can be Dangerous To Your Health
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

You might consider wearing gloves or not taking the receipt

Staff Writer David R

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical commonly used in the production of thermal paper receipts to enhance their functionality. However, BPA poses significant health risks due to its ability to leach into the skin upon contact. As a recognized endocrine disruptor, BPA can interfere with hormone signaling in the body, leading to a cascade of potential health issues. Prolonged exposure to BPA has been linked to reproductive disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and even certain cancers. Even small amounts absorbed through the skin can accumulate over time, heightening these risks. Given the ubiquity of receipts in daily life, frequent exposure can unknowingly jeopardize your health.

The receipts you touch could contain BPA, very unhealthy for you. Wear gloves or don’t take the receipt.

The absorption of BPA is further intensified when the skin is damp or covered in lotion, as these factors enhance chemical permeability. This is particularly concerning for individuals who handle receipts daily, such as cashiers or those in retail environments. Studies have shown that BPA from receipts can be transferred not just to skin but also to other objects or surfaces that come into contact with it, further spreading the risk. To compound the issue, BPA exposure is not isolated to receipts alone—it is also present in various other products, such as plastics and canned goods, amplifying the overall burden on the body.

To mitigate these risks, wearing gloves when handling receipts is a highly effective precaution. Gloves act as a physical barrier, preventing BPA from coming into contact with your skin. For those who must frequently handle receipts, disposable gloves offer the advantage of reducing direct exposure. Alternatively, using tweezers or encouraging digital alternatives, like email receipts, can limit physical interactions with BPA-laden paper altogether. In addition to wearing gloves, washing hands thoroughly after touching receipts and avoiding the use of hand sanitizers before handling receipts can further minimize absorption. By adopting these measures, you can significantly reduce your BPA exposure and safeguard your health against its potentially harmful effects
