I'm less worried about slide lube toxicity than its potential as an irritant. It's a pretty simple matter to get slide lube on the fingers on a hot day and then wipe one's eyes with the same hand. It happened to me and I was almost blind with tears from the STP on my slides.

That's when I went back to lanolin and mineral oil.
Is that a "Can I just do it until I need glasses?" joke? :shock:
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Well, no, I don't think that Roche-Thomas is toxic. It appears to be some variation of the standard kerosene & mineral oil based mixture that most valve oils are, and neither of those in small quantites are toxic. Quite the contrary, they have both been used, along with turpentine, as folk remedies for a variety of things for many years.
