Frosty hi. Sorry for delay responding. Info I provided was found online. Good point that I hadn't check out relative toxicity of beeswax smoke. I often fall into the natural is safe trap. Yes to minimizing dosage... I have a breathecool alternate air supply system for the worst exposures but should probably use it more.

Beeswax sounds way less toxic than Molyslip brand MWF (metalworking fluid). TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Exposure to organic solvent vapours may result in adverse health effects on the renal and central nervous systems. Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of consciousness. Repeated or prolonged contact with the product may lead to the removal of natural fats from the skin resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. Splashes in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible local damage.
