Gentle persons: I know I'm a big worry wort but two things really bother me about misting.
The first thing goes back to my days as a lab safety officer. Our lungs aren't really designed to deal with atomized organic oils. A Material Safety Data Sheet may say the oil has low toxicity but that probably isn't relevant to this issue. I don't want to breathe it. The finer the mist the bigger the problem because the deeper it can get (can you spell chemical pneumonia?). The second thing goes back to my days as a teenager when we thought explosions were pure fun. A fine mist of oil, even one with a high flash point, is a basic ingredient to an awesome flame (Case in point: anyone see the recent Myth Busters episode dealing with kitchen stove fires?) In my case, the only place in our townhouse my wife will let me put the tabletop mill I don't have yet is in our basement utility room, sharing space with a gas-fired water heater and a gas-fired furnace. Hmmm, not one but two sources of ignition. Like I say, I'm a big worry wort, but accidents are what happens just when you think everything is going fine. My first real summer job, as an engineering aide on a major construction project was 75-percent construction inspection and 25-percent recording accidents. What an eye-opener. Live long and prosper.
