Paraffin is actually the grayish-black sludge that oozes from the backside of the petroleum refineries. This byproduct is bleached, creating dioxins, is textured with a carcinogenic product called acrolyn, is colored with chemical colorants and artificially scented. Paraffin even has it's own cancer named for it: "paraffinoma". And you tell me you stick these things all over your house?
