The PCB is not really that toxic. The problem is that it almost does
not
break down and gets into the food chain. You can touch it and even get
a
small ammount in your mouth without any harm to you. I don't mean drink
it, but say you get some on your hand and lick a drop or two off your
finger.

Wow! What is your basis for saying that? Are you trying to say if it
doesn't kill you outright there is no danger?

PCB is often talked about like a few drops will kill you. Many things
around the house are much more toxic. Look at all the dangers listed on
the drugs they advertise on the TV.
While we don't want the PCP oil to get into the food chain, some tree
huggers just jumped on that and tried to make it sound like it would kill
you or cause brain damage or some such junk as that. While it will do
that, it takes more than a few drops and not many people are going to just
drink a glass of it.

I'll stick to beer, thanks.
