Putting on thermal underwear in winter is warm and comfortable. I also want to buy one, but I have asthma. I wonder if I can wear this kind of clothing?

    Asthma patients should be cautious when buying thermal underwear, because thermal underwear usually contains a formaldehyde, a commonly used textile auxiliary, which is used to dye clothing and make clothes soft and comfortable. If the formaldehyde content on the clothes exceeds the standard, part of the free formaldehyde can invade the human body through the skin or respiratory tract and induce respiratory diseases. Netizens with a history of allergic rhinitis and asthma should especially avoid thermal underwear without explicit formaldehyde content when buying. In addition, new clothes should be fully washed before wearing to remove most of the formaldehyde remaining in the fabric.
