I did put water on it and nothing happened to test that because people asked about it getting wet. I did research on the Internet on using, touching, and handling the vcr tape and couldn’t find any health concern. I don’t know for sure. I’ve tried to research this but didn’t find any for-sure answers. Do you have any links that you found or hard evidence? I’d love to find something for sure so I could document it and share it. Let me know what you found. Thanks. Cindy</em> @Christine:
