Having been in the art business for awhile, I know of several artists who have become deathly ill or have actually died from the toxins they encountered in their work.
It is best to avoid toxic materials - no matter how "good" you feel using them. I think that it is foolish to wait for a sub-clinical condition to become a full-blown allergic reaction.
Better to err on the side of caution, life is fragile...and precious.
