Guitar picks are made from all different types of plastics, including older plastics like celluloid and bakelite which may have a greater toxicity profile than modern plastics. Bakelite is particularly bad, being made from phenol and formaldehyde. So, he may be right, depending on what his picks were actually made from. You aren't likely to have any problems from PET or HDPE nowadays though...plastics have come a long way.
That's what they are saying right now. But, later.............
Somehow I've seen this play out several times over. I remember the mosquito foggers at campgrounds, in which DDT was used. The kids would follow behind the truck running through the smoke. I recall my parents being wise enough to not allow us to go near the trucks when they sprayed. We all know the story of DDT. I come to believe that any petroleum derivative is toxic. Even the crude oil coming out of the ground in my mond is like the residue from the bowel movement of a living earth.
