| A lot of people take selenium supplements with their vitamins! Admittedly very small amounts, but your body does need some amount of the stuff.
I think the danger gets hyped up by some because it is a heavy metal like mercury that accumulates in fatty tissues and the liver, and is not readily expelled by the body if excessive quantities are consumed. Frankly, that is the last thing I would worry about in the darkroom. Wear gloves and use adequate ventilation and you should be fine. |
