It's the water, dummy.

HAVANA, October 21 (Juan Carlos Linares / www.cubanet.org) - Consumers here are complaining that the soap sold as the October allotment under the government's rationing plan causes rashes and, in the words of one, "grows hair."

"It turns dark green, crumbles, and grows hair that feels like glass," said an older woman in the Víbora neighborhood of Havana. In general, users say the soap leaves them itchy, raises welts, and irritates their genitals.

As of October 20, Ministry of Internal Commerce inspectors asked retail establishments to stop selling the soap.

The soap was sold at the rate of one bar per person.
