Weathershield Primer
 

There are so many health & safety warnings printed on the tin that I think
it should come with a free spacesuit for protection! I'm put off using the
stuff now.

Ever read what it says on a tin of Nitomors paint stripper? Remember
that weathershield primer is also a preservative by definition
preservative have to be toxic...

Yes, but it doesn't necessarily follow that something which is
poisonous to things undesirable on our walls is also poisonous to us.
Antobiotics for example kill (some, most) bacteria but are, basically,
non-toxic for mammals.

That depends on your interpretation of "non-toxic".

If you swallow a whole tin of an antibiotic I don't think it would do
you a whole lot of good.

And besides which, though antibiotics have certain medicinal qualities
it is not recommended you use them except as prescribed by the doctor.
Reason being that they have the ability to nuke certain bacteria which
your body relies upon to survive. That can temporarily lower your
defences against other diseases.
