Not only is it a suspected carcinogen, but breathing it's vapors can 
be lethal! Back when I worked in a medical research lab, we used 
methylene chloride to but mice, dogs and monkeys to sleep before 
dissection. It worked all too good! Always use forced air ventilation 
when working with this stuff!
