stove, which has been making a com

energy crunch began, can perma

He said the skin mutations dis
appeared in the United States when
central heating was introduced, but
are still common in countries, such
England, where many people

High temperature and infra-red
rays cause the brownish blotches,

He said the discoloration is far
more serious than the skin
reddening caused by sunlight or fire
light. Some medical experts have
found the mutations produced by
the stove’s heat to be pre-cancerous,
he said.
Goltz said families can protect
themselves by keeping exposed skin
areas a safe distance from direct
heat.
