How dangerous is

[Josh66]

No for me too, lol.

They both kind of smell similar to me (fixer and stop bath) - stop bath smells like vinegar (duh), and the fixer smells just like salt & vinegar potato chips. :lmao:

I think the reason stop bath reminds me of Easter instead of just vinegar is because of the color.


A little more related to the actual topic (because it involves ingesting the chemicals) ... I remember reading somewhere that fixer was (er, contained) the antidote for cyanide poisoning. Anyone ever heard of that?

I've heard that too, it's the sodium thiosulphate, I think?

Not sure if I'd want to try it though.

Edit, I just looked at our bottle of fixer and maybe its ammonium sulphate not sodium. For some reason I remembered the sodium thiosulphate, but that's not listed as an active ingredient so I could very easily be wrong.

it is the ammonium that probably is creating your smelling pants

my darkroom clothes always smell, even after many washings. It might help if I didn't wipe my hands on my shirt all the time

LOL! No it's not a joke! I remember sitting in a public restroom and heard some of my classmates discussing it. I thought I was the only one.
