Way back when I was experimenting with developers, trying to find one
that would convert my poorly seen images into works of art, I decided to
use paraphenylenediamine. At the time it was believed to be
carcinogenic, so I could not get it. But it was used in hair dye for
women. Some studies confirm it is carcinogenic; some do not.
Unsafe for me to get a little on my fingers, but ok for women to soak
their heads with it.
Later, I realized that changes in processing were unlikely to correct
for poorly seen images.
