Are you a woodworm?

As long as you:
a. Don't eat it b. Wash you hands after nadling it c. Wear a mask when cutting it
you'll be fine.
Dont burn it in a fireplace etc either
You'll also have the comfy pleasure of knowing that your trusses are made from natural organic stuff rather than being wrought from some environment polluting synthetic material.

There is a well documented case of a family in Australia burning off- cuts on their barbie and killing the dog and making some members of the family very ill.
I seem to recall that the formula for CCA has changed recently, but I can't remember which of the constituents they have modified,

I think I would be ill if you served me barbecued dog as well....
(and I thought that was just the Koreans who went in for that sort of thing! ;-)

------------------ Here is the EU ban EU bans arsenic in wood preservatives
01-07-2003This news just in: The European Union (EU) just announced its ban on arsenic in wood preservatives, which would include CCA. Here is the article text: =========================================== Environmental Daily News ISSUE 1357 - TUESDAY 7 JANUARY 2003
EU bans arsenic in wood preservatives
The European Commission yesterday announced a ban on the use of arsenic in wood preservatives, except for a restricted number of industrial applications. The ban, to be in place by 30 June 2004, will also apply to
treated wood. Arsenic is the latest substance to be added to a list regulated under the EU's 1976 chemicals' marketing and use directive (ED
06/01/03 ). The Commission proposed the ban in 2001 after scientists recommended tougher restrictions on wood preservatives containing arsenicbecause of its genotoxic and carcinogenic nature (ED 11/12/01 ). See directive text . =========================================================================

For once I agree with them.
You have a choice of treatments, and can use something that does not contain arsenic.
