A member asked:
Just found out my flooring is part of the recall for high formaldehyde levels. i get fasciculations. can that be from formaldehyde toxin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: The primary and earliest symptoms of toxicity from formaldehyde are pulmonary and respiratory in nature, not muscular. It is unlikely that twitching or fasciculations would be part of this picture at any early level.
