        That’s a difficult question to answer. I work with many dangerous substances all the time but we have to follow the correct procedures which means we’re rarely at any significant risk. If we are – then we’re doing something wrong.

        However, probably the most toxic thing I work with regularly is potassium cyanide. It binds to your blood and prevents it from carrying oxygen around your body. But for the same reason, its great at removing the metals that we use to make our woven fabrics.
