Is your cervical spine going to welcome a bad motor scooter?

Oh come on, my stinger isn't that short.
Yeah, I was getting some groceries in my grocery getter. Were you the guy in the pickup that was staring at me all weird?
Took a Risk Management class today and learned something:
The Zinc dichromate coating that's found on Grade 8 bolts will kill you pretty quickly if it's vaporized while welding. It creates a chemical reaction that increases your liver enzymes and the body is unable to filter it out for the rest of your life.
OSHA recommends:
SnoBowl toilet cleaner to take off the coating, grind, wash, then weld with a new respirator.
Now you know.
I'm not about to go inhaling fumes from welding on galvanized metals , But I recall reading that the by product of welding this is basicly the same as what you put on your nose when going to the beach , and is not going to kill you like is often said , But like I stated I'm not about to needlessly inhale fumes while doing metal work .
