Toxic

Putting the aphrodisiac potential of photo chemicals aside, I have an allergy to either one or all of the following: developer, stop bath, fixer, or water. Personally, I'm thinking it's the last one. Granted, the darkroom and film closet provide an ample amount of privacy (really, the alluring orange-mute glow of the safety light--how does one resist?), how am I supposed to get it on in there while all those noxious chemicals glisten menacingly in their respective white pans? Just 2-hours in the darkroom and--8 hours later (plus at least 4 handwashes)--my fingers still make me want to sneeze!
