Yeah, some of that stuff is really nasty.
I'm glad that I work almost exclusively with Lignum Vitae.
It is medicinal, in almost all forms.
...which in no way whatsoever means that it's safe...
Been working indoors with it steadily for 4 years with no problems.
I also bought 3000 pounds of Cumaru and built a railing and some other stuff
without experiencing any problems from that.
That was all outdoor work.
I do, however, have extreme sensitivites to other things, mainly tobacco smoke.
The slightest whiff and I puke my guts out.

I should add that even if LV should prove to be fairly human friendly,
if you try and buy Lignum Vitae, chances are high that you might receive
one of the various varieties of wood that people have slapped the name Lignim Vitae onto.
I have no idea of the irritant value of Vera, Gaiac, Argentinian LV or any of the other imposters.
Only the Guaiacum species are real LV
