2 years ago, I sent an email to Abbott Labs with concerns about sodium azide in their home test kits. Contact with a minute amount of this substance can cause organ failure. A comment mentioned "just follow the directions, and it is safe". As a nurse (now retired) I witnessed many health professionals not "just following the directions" with rapid test kits - and these were "professionals". Even if the directions were followed, the solution could spill out of the test kit in the garbage and then leak out of a torn garbage bag. Cleaning up spillage could be a source of contact. Abbott Labs' response was, "It is just a little bit" (of poison). Dasting, right?
