I'm afraid of cancer. i'm afraid everything i touch or eat will give me it, like glue from food wrappers. is it true you can get cancer easily?

No!: Absolutely not! It's a long cumulative effect of multiple carcinogenic agents that have to build up in your system before you get cancer. There are those who have worked with cancerous chemicals all their life before we regulated such chemicals and they never got anything.
