Yes, I know but still I found it interesting.
I must say that here in Asia they don't safety measures very
seriously on the average.
Althought they had a special spray installation, which worked
with running water.
They sprayed their pots in a cabine The spray got captured by
the running water over the inside of the cabin.
And what if you take talc powder? You don't have to take clay
powder.
People powder themselves daily with talc powder.
