Safety has come a long way

[Guest guest]

Times have really changed in the chemical department since I first

went to Community College to learn it. We were pipetting by mouth

before squeegies came out and then came along safety data sheets.

I'd already swallowed a few mouthfuls of hydrochloric acid and had to

rinse my mouth out. Those were the days.

 

Gas chromatographs, spectrophotometry, ion chromatography

instrumentation were all just beginning. Wow! I feel old. *g

 

It is something to spend a lifetime creating safety data sheets then

for essential oils. I hope that consumers are smart enough to read

them. I know Matt Wyatt's pages were the first things that I read

when I first started readinging about essential on the internet.

 

I sure want to know what is safe and not safe to use. But I also

like to play and use my own instincts. I like a balance of both.

 

I have this really neat book on identifying bacteria written by a

expert in the field ... that is a written like a field guide that

uses are own senses to identify bacteria. No instruments required.

And you can still become an expert at it! Yay!

 

I have truly been eyes thru time ... in the safety data industry.

Putting together a distillation apparatus for the first time and

going crazy trying to figure it all out .... I could do the algebra

but no the statistics. Never much liked that class.
