Well, since you are very unlikey to be exposed to it in high concentrations for prolonged periods, I wouldn't sweat it. You're not a rat either, are you? :D

You probably don't need to worry too much. Alcohol will kill brain cells too. Do people still drink it? Yes. Do people drink shampoo? Hopefully not.

Still, thanks for the info, it doesn't hurt to avoid it I guess.

Maybe I am. Don't mock my people.

"prolonged exposure (roughly 18 hours) to a much lower, sub-lethal concentration of MIT caused embryonic rat neurons to stop developing in the way they should."

I don't think that being exposed for a few minutes will make any difference in a human's neural development.

you do realize that anything in high doses can cause harm?

That study in the article just proves why the standard proceedures for testing stuff makes no sense.
