it does seem to me that the dangers are hyped beyond reason.
Years ago an old bottle of picric acid would be discovered in a high
school chemistry lab. Horrors! Call the bomb squad! So it was taken out

We use picric acid and as inquisitive boys we have tried very hard to
ignite it thinking it would be fun.
We dried some down and wrapped it in aluminum foil and with appropriate
protection outdoors
As a GLP tox lab, we have done away with using Bouin's altogether - there is
literature out there (somewhere - not handy now) that indicates Modified
Davidson's fixative provides the same testicular detail of bouins, without the
picric acid danger. We switched about 3-4 years ago, and our test
