The stuff is poisonus and so are the vapors, over extended periods. Short periods of exposure are OK. The vapors are sweet smelling and attract kids and animals. Keep them away from it. Do not use this process indoors, use it where there is good ventilation. Keep the lid on the pot when your cooking. Never again use the pot for food, the stuff gets into the pours of the pot and it is almost impossible to get it out.

Excelent point, JR. This stuff is DEADLY, even in tiny amounts and is attractive to kids and animals. It causes irreversable and fatal kidney damage very quickly.
BE CAREFULL!
