Don't you have to be careful not to breathe that stuff since it's composed if tiny silica spikes? You'd need to wear a respirator in your house.

- andrei_says_ 3y agoHave used it to get rid of fleas. The DA dust just lays on the floor - once applied it’s out of the air. We didn’t wear respirators and I haven’t heard of anyone who does in this scenario.
- patientzero 3y agoNot really, there are different forms and OSHA recommendations for how much of a safer form should be in the air if you are possibly breathing it your whole working life.. Pets and very small children might get much higher doses being curious and near the floor though.
- lazide 3y agoYup. It’s a fine powder that will get into the air if walked on or near, and causes nasal and lung irritation if breathed in short term - and silicosis if breathed in long term. Unlikely this length of exposure would result in silicosis probably though. [http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/degen.html http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/degen.html]
- singleshot_ 3y agoOne trick is do not clean it up with a vacuum.
