Help for a layman

[David Johnston]

Greetings!
	I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, here, but maybe someone
can help me out.  I regularly use Procion MX fabric dyes.  The
manufacturer tells me that in powder form, these dyes can cause
respiratory reactions similar to asthma, but are not dangerous in liquid
form.  I don't want to take their word for it.  Another source has told me
that the dyes are used in experiments to bind enzymes and other cellular
structures, and this indicates a potentially serious health risk.  I'm
looking for info on what sort of risk this is, and how I can protect
myself from it.

		Thanks!
