Subject: More info on thiourea (Tarn-X ingredient)

From: "kilocycles" <kilocycles@...>

Here's a link to a US National Institutes of Health Report on
Carcinongens that addresses thiourea specifically as a potential
carcinogen:

Notable in the report is this statement: "There is a small risk of
consumer exposure to thiourea in silver tarnish removers or in liquid
animal glues, which have been widely replaced by woodworking glues."
