This is the response from my son-in-law. He is an L.A. County Fireman specializing in Haz-Mat. Drat!! Another potentially good idea shot down.
Janet NO NO NO! Look at the container lable; it contains petroleum distilates. They are a form of aromatic hydrocarbons derived from benzine, and are a known compound associated with many different types of cancers. I learned all about this stuff in the haz-mat program at work. Do not use it for any food preperation equipment, surface, utensile, etc. Avoid skin contact by wearing quality rubber gloves. It easily is absorbed through skin, and this, along with inhalation, is the primary entry route. It is well suited for many uses, mainly in the workshop, gun care, and other mechanical chores. I would not use it on any animal, or their water! I always use it when outside, and in good ventilation. Eric. --------------------------------- Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate in the Yahoo!
