    I'm sure this is reasonable as a "better safe than sorry" reasponse,
    but, really, if the stuff is thoroughly cured, you could probably
    sit down and eat it and it wouldn't hurt you. And intact, with salt
    inside it, it would have to be astonishingly toxic to do anything at
    all!

    I believe in taking care, but you're probably more likely to poison
    yourself drinking out of a styrofoam cup.
