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. |
