I'm assuming you'd put some sort of finish on the surface, so I think you'll be safe. I would wear a mask while milling or sanding the stuff, though. If you're still concerned, you may want to either pressure wash the lumber or scrub it with some soap and water before cutting.

I think Allen's precautions would be good...it's about the only thing I can think of.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Thanks guys. Not too concerned about working too much I’ll wear the necessary safety gear. Just worried about when its actually in use. I was planning on using a coat of osmo. Is there anything else to add before or after that?
