Cuban soap grows hair, causes rashes
HAVANA, Cuba, October 21 (Juan Carlos
Linares / www.cubanet.org) - Consumers here
are complaining that the soap sold as the
October allotment under the government's
rationing plan causes rashes and, in the
words of one, "grows hair."
"It turns dark green, crumbles, and
grows hair that feels like glass,"
said an older woman in the Víbora
neighborhood of Havana. In general, users
say the soap leaves them itchy, raises welts,
and irritates their genitals.
As of October 20, Ministry of Internal
Commerce inspectors asked retail establishments
to stop selling the soap.
The soap was sold at the rate of one bar
per person.
