Interesting. Thank you for the info Aaron. From what I read about
methemoglobinemia after getting your response, infant below 6 month of age
are particularly in danger, since after that the body may already be capable
of dealing with nitrates. So in the first 6 month fertilized water is more
poisonous and then it is less so. As already said, I do not intend to feed
my son fertilizer and overall I think I will keep the fertilizer solution
out of his reach, however, the cleaning supplies and other much more toxic
chemicals will take precedence in the out of reach storage -- they will have
to be placed in a spot that is completely out of baby and toddle reach no
matter what happens, whereas the fertilized solution can probably be in a
spot that is just out of reach.

As to fertilizer toxicity- the biggest worry that I am aware of
would be the nitrates. People don't handle nitrates too well, and infants
are most susceptible. Look up "blue baby disease" or "blue baby syndrome,"
also known as methemoglobinemia.

Actually, methemoglobinemia has a number of causes, nitrates in
the diet being one of several.

Other'n that, most of the components are fairly safe in the
concentrations at which they would most likely be present.
