so... do I need to be worried about thermal paper?
'cus, a while back there was this Thing about it being a toxic carcinogen (and what isn't, these days, amiright) and... well I happen to be in the customer service side of things and I handle a lot of receipts. Like, a lot alot. Too many. Do I... should I... wig the fuck out? Or is this one of those overstated things, like the big cups that did or did not have lead in them?
People working in factories where it's made have cause for concern, definitely, and of course anyone hoping to survive off the groundwater near factories. Maybe we should not produce this stuff...
Unless you're snacking on the ones customers decline to take you should be fine.

It's funny, i see the same thing said about going to the gun range. I don't think receipts are on the same level as lead poisoning, but it seems that very few people put much thinking into cleaning lead off after shooting.
But I think at the very least, they'll be conscious of their dirty hands. How many Yanks conceal carry every day, touch their guns and then all over the house and body and their spouse's mouth, eat a burger, wank, rub their eyes, etc.?
