"These litters contain TOXIC hydrocarbons. The oils that give these woods their scent is what causes the problem. When inhaled, the chemicals change the amount of enzymes the liver produces. Long term exposure to these chemicals actually causes damage to the liver and immunesystem, making the animal more susceptible to respiratory diseases such as Mycoplasma. These toxins may also cause cancer."
