Always be cautious in using a chemical. First and foremost, use it per the label specifications – it’s the law. But some other things to consider is a chemical increases its chance of being hazardous the more you’re exposed. The concentration of the product increases its toxicity. So if you are diluting a mixture using the concentrated product take extra precaution as your exposure increases. Certain body parts are also more sensitive.Â
