Info that comes with it gives an REI of only 4 hours, and they recommend gloves, long sleeves and pantlegs, shoes and socks, and eye protection.
 
The warnings are really quite tame compared to insecticides, but have a lot of the same general statements:
 
"Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin.  May cause eye irritation.  May also cause skin sensitization reactions in certain people.  Harmful if inhaled, avoid breathing spray mist.  Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water.  Get medical attention if irritation persists.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Do not store near or contaminate food or feedstuffs."

Subject: [OGD] Enstarholics?

Since I am approaching my 'sell-by' date I suppose I needn't be too concerned but some more youthful subscribers may wonder, even though Enstar may have "minimal effects on other insects" (Paul Johnson), are there any potential hazards to Homo sapiens, especially when applying it in the confines of a small orchid house in recirculating humid air?  Just a thought!
