Why does tea strainer cause cancer?
Tea strainer is made of very poor quality plastic. This can be estimated from the fact that sometimes when the tea gets too hot, it melts. When hot tea is steeped in it, the dangerous chemicals and microplastics present in it melt and come into the tea and when this tea is drunk, they enter the body, which can cause cancer.
