I'm notorious for holding onto receipts... for big purchases, gifts, purchases that hav
e not cleared yet, etc... I'm sure that lots of people do. There is a rising concern about the BPA (a chemical linked to cancer) in these little strips of paper. Through contact with the skin (your hands), the chemical can seep into your bloodstream. Supposedly BPA can also rub off on other objects. (Think about how easy it is for receipts to take over your wallet or purse!) So you might want to put receipts you do need to keep in a separate place (like an envelope). It is recommended that you wash your hands with soap and water after contact with receipts.
