I have used perlite for many years, always wet. Dry perlite is extremely dusty. For someone with allergies, asthma, or just sensitivity, it is very irritating & makes you sneeze & cough. I have no idea if it causes disease in frequent users.
I'm sure if you Google on it, you will find references, but common sense dictates anything that irritating should be used sensibly. Once I get it out of the package & wet, it causes no further trouble.

Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
