I read somewhere that by boilng the cotton for a while eliminates the pesticides and chemicals, but im unsure.... if i read it on the internet, it must be true lolPesticide residue might be a concern with cotton you're going to be inhaling directly off. Even working on the farm, it might be better to avoid that by ordering something in as already suggested.
Absurd as it may feel, with fields of the stuff right there.
