I'll be sure to wear my Tyvek body suit the next time I go to the beach!
(There's an MSDS for water, too BTW!)

I think the MSDS guidelines are meant more for the researcher in an 
extreme laboratory environment or for the person in the dust cloud in 
the sandblasting booth, shooting industrial-grade particulate at 
incredibly high velocities for etching glass or granite or stripping 
100-year old paint, more than they are meant for the lifeguard or the 
sandcastle-builder, or the desert bedouin for that matter.

Ah, life's a fatal affair,
