Dear Steve: I get a mild rash when I come in direct contact with HBTU, but
I have thankfully not developed further reactions. I normally scrub
exposed skin areas down and rinse off balances etc after weighing HBTU.
Weighing HBTU in a hood might make life more comfortable for the person
with the allergic response. I also think that both DMF and piperidine
accentuate this problem, although my n=1. Reagrds, Gautam
