Hi Keith,

Some years ago a hospital doctor used LN to burn (freeze?) out a verruca on my daughter's foot.

He used a cotton bud and dipped it straight into the dewar.

No PPE or other precautions.

Not sure if that helps, but I would expect anyone applying such treatment to be medically competent.

Alan
