PS: Seriously, you might want some disclaimers in the list of risks, just
in
case someone decides to eat a bowl of Jell-O they have laced with dichromate
or something and then decides to sue alt photo for not having mentioned the
dangers of doing so.
Precisely. Does the photographer wishing to engage in potentially dangerous
processes not also bear some responsibility to inform him/herself, at least
of the obvious or common dangers? Can an author not assume at least that
much common sense in his/her readers, or should ALL relevant safety
precautions be contained in EVERY published article on photographic
processes? They all carry some risk - you could choke on hypo crystals, you
know.
Bear in mind also that to obtain mercury, cyanide, strong acid, etc., these
days, a buyer also has to satisfy the seller of his/her competence to handle
it, if it can be obtained at all. Such substances are therefore unlikely to
fall into the hands of the inexperienced or totally incompetent.
