Reply #13: Very funny. [View All]

Reminds me of the old Organic Chemists' disngenuous argument when confornted with say, the toxicity of benzene and it's inadvisability of putting it say...in infant formula.

It goes something like this:

"But ANY chemical reagent is dangerous when used the wrong way. You can drown in a pail of water."

Not sure whether you were being funny or trying to make a point, but as a Molecular Biologist I can damn sure tell you that not all reagents are "equally as damaging" to human beings and certainly a lot worse will happen to you if you stick your head in a bucket of benze, even for a few seconds.
