While we are all discussing this....just a warning probably isn't
enough...you can download videos of this on youtube....here is one of a

feed/grain stores, and grocery stores...

It's interesting to note that the NY Daily News did note that the ACS has
warned of this work in "Chemical Safety for Teachers and Their
Supervisors." in this article:

es-students-badly-burned-article-1.1565533
The NY Times article on the event, which focuses on the CSB warning, can
be found at
