After reading the previous posts re "white cell count" I wondered if the =
mold that forms on my bags of clay posed a threat even without a =
pre-existing medical condition! One kind of clay I use in particular is =
always covered, (quite black looking) with mold.
Is it Ok to work with the clay moist, and the problem only develop =
when working with the clay in the dried out stage? Like when doing a =
little dry sanding, scraping, etc.?
I guess I'm a little paranoid, because of the tragic stories I've =
heard
about manganese, and even people from years ago with lead use. I'm not =
real keen on using Silver Nitrate anymore as well! Just can't find a =
good reason to use such a nasty, vicious chemical, when the good =
results are so hard to achieve. =20

Don't worry, Gabrielle.
Unless you are immune compromised or allergic, the mold on your clay won't
hurt you. There are millions and millions of microbes out there--everywhere.
You cannot get away from them, and as long as you stay healthy, the vast
majority of them can't hurt you.
