A friend was hassling me to get a test kit recently. I was like “hell no I”m not supporting this stupidity”

Just don’t drink it or put it in your eye and you’ll be fine.
Also known in the State of California to cause cancer. (Sarc)  :crazy:

“Sodium azide is a very potent poison, and ingestion of relatively low doses can cause significant toxicity," Poison Control said. "The extraction vials do look like small squeeze bottles or eye droppers. Some people may accidentally confuse them with medications and apply the drops into their eyes or nose, which may cause irritation. People also may spill it on their skin which can cause skin irritation or chemical burns. Small children may accidentally swallow the contents of the vial or choke on the vial’s small cap."

We use to let kids bite down on glass filled tubes of mercury.

Hence the [Sarc]
I get a laugh out of that label.
Don’t go to California. Everything will give you cancer. But only in the State of California.  :rofl:

Was having a conversation about that with a health nut friend and she made some interesting points. If these chemicals really did contribute/cause cancer, wouldn't you want to know about it? Of course amount of exposure is the most significant factor for any harmful chemical but how would you know to find the limits if you never knew it was carcinogenic in the first place?
(just food for thought)

Some people are just too dumb to make it in life.

I wonder how many other medical tests use sodium azide.
