You might want to do your homework before saying such things. When you first get the capsules and READ the accompanying literature, it spells out these things. Clearly, you missed that step and THAT is what would be known as nonsense.

Also the Mayo Clinic’s own website cautions to wear disposable gloves when handling Hydrea, but what would they know, right?

PS. The Mayo Clinic’s own website states to wear disposible gloves when HANDLING Hydrea, due to its toxicity. Last time I checked, they were considered quite reputable if I’m not mistaken…

The effects on your skin may take a while to show, but I wouldn’t chance doing it.

Thanks, arecchie, for reminding us it's better to be safe than sorry.

I need to be more careful.
