'''Watch out with wood from pallets.''' Pallets used for international shipment have to be treated to reduce the risk of shipping insects between countries. Most nowadays are heat treated and are fine to use, but there are still a fair few about that have been fumigated or soaked in really nasty insecticides. Turning this into sawdust is really quite unhealthy. Look for an "HT" mark (Heat Treat) and GET RID of any pallets marked "MB" (Methyl Bromide). | |||
