I was hoping we could get a thread going about Bonsai Related Health Risks. While many Bonsai Health risks are common Sense, I feel something are not. I would love if you would please add to my list and give me some more specifics.
Lime Sulfur Wear gloves and protective glasses and a respiratory mask if spraying. Lime Sulfur can blind you if too much get's into your eyes. I've heard they wear full body suits in Japan while spraying this stuff esp on ume, when they use a higher concentration. I don't know why exactly they banned it in CA or if that is even true or not, but It's not something I want in my lungs. Is it bad to get on your skin?
Moss Wear gloves when handling moss, I hear long fibered new zeland Sphagnum moss is not that bad. I also saw a you tube video with a guy who used 100% moss for all his trees. I hear he died from moss.
Sand BlastingWear a respiratory mask, the tiny particles can get in your lungs
ToolsBasically common sense, but learning how to hold power tools the proper way is important.
Would you please share some of your knowledge?
