[synth-diy] Sorta OT: health risks

[patchell]

    You bet.  If there were no health risks, it wouldn't be fun!!!

    Seriously...Breathing the solder flux fumes is a definate not a good
idea.  If you are soldering, don't handle food.  Probably the best way to
avoid getting in lead poisening.  Wash your hands real good after you are
done.
