Health & Safety: The dye used to create the colourful patterns have health and safety risks. If the dye were to enter the blood stream you may become poisoned so always ensure it always remains exterior to your body. Also dangerous to enter the body in all ways including eyes which you would need to use an eye wash immediately if this were to occur.
