Absolutely, infact I've already decided that since my yard is large enough
with plenty of things to explore, we're playing in it only.  Under no
condition do I allow chemicals used on my yard.  Heck, I use beer to take
care of slugs if I must.

Very good points.  Being an aromatherapist and studying herbology I should
have thought of the obvious ones on my own.  I never even thought about
poison ivy/oak.  Thanks to both for the reminders. :)
