Potassium permanganate OT maybe.
anyone watch Tremors last night in sci-fi??
well one guy was poisoning the 'poor' graboid with small amounts of PP. & IT finally ate him with the guys pockets FULL of the stuff ( which made him the graboid pretty sick, & they had to make him an antidote).. anyway,, Bert was nearby when he said the guy went 'down ' in a cloud of purple *dust* , which meant the stuff was whhoooffff all over!! now,, from reading on HERE how horrific this stuff is , if you use it wrong,, (one small amount astray can blind you, or mess up your respiratory system), they sure didn't have any comments to THAT problem. I figure anyone nearby , by now, should be in a hospital!!(ok, it was TV),, I am thinking,,, about all the people who might use the stuff for some 'homemade bombs' , or whatever,, like they alluded to. (after watching the show) hmmm. oh, btw, after I had such a problem finding the stuff previously,, I walk into my feed store, & its on the shelf ( in a pretty BIG container) with all the other pond stuff( for algae etc).. I read the pkg, & it didn't give any 'real big' warnings about the stuff. I used this stuff 20 years ago,, & I know I didn't take precautions with it.. just poured it in a container OUTSIDE to mix it, I'm sure lots of dust went flyin' around.. even last month , I hadn't read all the hazards about it, & took a small amount out (with a Popsicle stick) to mix in an empty water bottle to add to my quarantine tank. I KNOW I wasn't that careful, as I found when I was wiping up, lots of little purple 'dots' on the table. #yikes#. PLUS little brown dots on my hands. Now after reading all the stuff, I'm afraid to open the thing up without a hazmatsuit on! ( which I can readily get from my hubby, since the company he works for has these things for the guys who paint the bridges........) ok,,, I know,, rambling, but maybe someone hasn't heard of all the stuff that can happen (like blindness, etc) with this stuff. When I bought it from the pond place ,, NO precautions were on the bottle. |

muffin,
I have used KMNO4 for years (I'm a pharmacist) and the secret to safety is to get it into solution as quickly as possible. It is still not harmless in solution, but it is much more dangerous in the dry form. Of course you still have to be careful of your eyes and skin. don cunningham "*muffin*" wrote in message ... anyone watch Tremors last night in sci-fi?? well one guy was poisoning the 'poor' graboid with small amounts of PP. & IT finally ate him with the guys pockets FULL of the stuff ( which made him the graboid pretty sick, & they had to make him an antidote).. anyway,, Bert was nearby when he said the guy went 'down ' in a cloud of purple *dust* , which meant the stuff was whhoooffff all over!! now,, from reading on HERE how horrific this stuff is , if you use it wrong,, (one small amount astray can blind you, or mess up your respiratory system), they sure didn't have any comments to THAT problem.

It's like someone said recently on this NG, "you can do all the wrong things
(talking about ponds actually) and get away with it", (until such time as it catches you, like it did my sewage treatment guy, or the expert woodworker who cuts his finger tips off on a saw). Sometimes the less "expert" users have less problems, as they have more than a healthy concern for the substances/machinery they are using. They avoid getting comfortable while using them, unlike many of the veterans ('experts"). Greg "*muffin*" wrote in message ...
