I have been told that the chemical in this pod is mildly caustic. Our old hands
have thick skin so rarely to we have any problems. The problems occur if we
touch or scratch or probe other areas of our body which don't have think skin.
Think about how many times in a day that you rub your eyes. This transfers
those chemicals to those sensitive areas. I always instruct my students to use
gloves or wash there hands after tearing the print off. "Wet One" or some other
wet wipe is good to keep in your photo kit. These are college age kids that Im
instructing, I would think you would have to be a lot more careful with younger
children.
