I agree with Randy on this one.  It's the human health that I'm concerned about.  I see people using vaporizers and foggers with no protection.  The MSDS and EPA directions are not clear, about appropriate protection.
 
A simple paper dust mask isn't going to do much good.  For inhalation protection, invest in a good respirator mask with organic vapor/acid gas cartridges.  Be sure to wear eye protection.
 
In our online courses, we only recommend oxalic drip to our beginners, and I hope Randy's glycerin/oxalic method proves out.  
 
We include a vaporizer demo, with lots of emphasis on human health risks and proper safety gear, in our Journeyman level course.
