Pyro, like nuclear radiation, is not dangerous. Most of the time, how the
material is handled makes the product dangerous. Tray processing DEMANDS you wear
gloves. The metol in the Pyro is porbably the most toxic chemical in the
mixture. Look at the label on other developers. What's in it? Metol.

Remember. Don't lick your fingers, don't drink the Pyro, and don't use it as a
non-dairy coffee creamer, and don't wear the same gloves twice. Really simple.
And, if you taste almonds in your mouth, you probably have a hole in your
gloves. In this case, wash your hands.

I am not flaming anyone, but a little common sense is warranted when using any
chemical, including Pyro.
