<p>This statement is just not true. The number of deaths "caused"
by airbags is a tiny fraction of the number of lives they have saved.
Blanket statements like that are fun to make but it's just not true.
<p>As for protective clothing--I think you really have to think about the
source these tissue samples came from and the danger of the chemicals you
use. I work with rat and monkey tissue and really only worry with
the monkey tissue--I know where the rats were, and their parents, and their
parent's parents, etc. The monkeys, however, are more likely to harbor
something that is transmissible to humans and they have been free ranging
in St. Kitts. As for chemical, I'm casual with phosphate buffer but
not with DAB.
<p>It's your safety---think.

<p><i>Michael,</i>
<br><i>Your comments are hilarious. I think you got your point across.
