AB Bromate  poisoning  was  most  common  during  the  1940s  and  1950s,  when  bromate  was  a  popular  ingredient  in  home  permanent  neutralizers.  Less  toxic  substances  have  been  substituted  for  bromates  in  kits  for  home  use,  but  poisonings  still  occur  occasionally  from  professional  products  (bromate-containing  permanent  wave  neutralizers  have  been  ingested  in  suicide  attempts  by  professional  hairdressers).  Commercial  bakeries  often  use  bromate  salts  to  improve  bread  texture,  and  bromates  are  components  of  the  fusing  material  for  some  explosives.  Bromates  previously  were  used  in  matchstick  heads.  Bromate-contaminated  sugar  was  the  cause  of  one  reported  epidemic  of  bromate  poisoning.
