With selenium toner it is probably a good idea to wear gloves. No point in necessarily exposing yourself to a toxic substance especially when nitrile gloves offer no impediment to print handling.

filter it, dilute 1+100 an use it as fertilizer in your flowerpots.
I did and the plants are looking good. I do the more or less the same with spent fixer after silver recovery. Ammonium thiosulphate helps to fix nitrogen into the soil, dunno how selenium works. |

As an after thought I believe my wife feeds me selenium tablets from the health food shop that are supposed to do something good, but I doubt that they do. |

Or perhaps make your humour blacker... or your moods darker...

Good point.
Selenium is needed to make the thyroid work, there are a number of diseases related to lack of selenium, mainly because the soil lacks it and there is a deficit of it on the trophic chain, also there is selenium in some dandruff control shampoos, baby milks, etc. Also a number of intoxications are well described. Plants make good use of it, afaik (which isn't much) the main question is not to change the ph of your pots soil and not saturate it. In any case it's better end for it than the drain, imho.

Will that mean I'll burn with a brown flame?

You wont even need to burn. 500 years if kept in the right environment?
Darker moods maybe, but that'll make your lighter sides appear to be brighter. Of course it'll be seen as mood swings but we'll all know it's just your contrast. Steve.
