Hi!

I am working with black locust, and so far I have known that it is the bark and leaves of this tree that is dangerous for health. But I've just been told by a skilled carpenter, that the dust of its wood is also very toxic and may cause cancer. Does anyone know if it is really so dangerous or not?

Thank you!
