Nontoxic Permanent Ink Pens and Markers

Permanent ink pens and markers have caught my attention in daily life twice in the past two weeks, so I was prompted to write about them today. The first exposure was in a public place where someone opened one of these pens (with a popular brand name) and started writing with it. I was standing three feet away and could smell it instantly. Then I went to Staples to buy some bold tip pens. I’ve been buying this brand for years…Expo Vis-a-Vis pens. They are “wet erase markers” for white boards, but I use them when I need a bold pen.
