o.k., I ran into an old crafter friend and she had cooling scarves that she was going to discontinue so I bought them thinking I would try them out and maybe make some. So I soaked it as directed, slapped that thing around my neck and proceeded to the football game. I have never felt anything so slimy and disgusting ! Is this normal? Was it because of the crystals she chose ? Any ideas ? I understand there are several kinds of crystals. I can just see it now---"get your slime rags here "!!!!!!!!!
