i'm not worried about it or anything in my apothecary, but
was just surprised at the labeling. i have the book
"overexposure" which is OK, but does make just about
everything seem highly toxic.
Its been a very long time since this came up in some
list or other but I believe book above, at least the first
edition, was the subject of serious criticism for being
inaccuate and making mountains out of molehills to say the
least. If its what I remember its aimed mostly at artists
who are worried that their paint or othrer material will put
them in an early grave (which is possible but not too
likely).
BTW, I am always a bit amused by detective stories that
are based on some photographer having an ample supply of
cyanide. While there _are_ uses for cyanide in photography
about the only places one used to find it were newspaper
printing plants using the old method of making half-tone
plates. Jean-David Beyer is the expert on this ancient
process.
