Reminds me of the situation with Kes and her nylon collar.  We had hunter 
green collars for Baron and Kes.  I had also gotten one for a buck (male 
goat).  Well, the one for the buck soon became too small, and I replaced it 
with a different one.  

One day, we noticed that Kes' collar seemed a bit tight, and unfortunately it 
had no more holes to be let out.  So, we tried the buck's old nylon collar, 
and found that it fit well.  So much so good.

Well, sometime later, I was giving Kes a bath.  It wasn't a "show" quality 
bath, just one to get most of the yuck out of the coat, and I had left the 
nylon collar on her.  It wasn't too long before I smelled a strange odor.  
Upon investigating, I found that the buck's musky scent was being emitted by 
the collar.  Also, Kes' neck was turning a funny shade of green/grey.  
Needless to say, I didn't use that collar for a Pyr again.
