I'm not sure if you're seriously trying to scare people or making a sarcastic 'di-hydrogen monoxide' style joke.
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoI imagine a lot of this stuff is only a risk in certain quantities or forms which you rarely encounter. I find it funny how many basic things we use in food have somewhat high scores on that hazard diamond.
- ryanmercer 6y ago>Alpha Terpineol is in pine trees. Are you trying to argue it is safe because it is natural? Terpineol, and other various other chemicals in woods, can cause skin/eye/mucous membrane irritation. Inhale enough terpineol and you can cause permanent lung damage. Turpentine (which terpineol is a derivative of), which comes from pine trees, is bad stuff. It can cause kidney damage, bleeding in the lungs, etc. Inhaling it can even cause central nervous system damage and can be immediately fatal in high enough concentration.
