        A couple of other people have Emailed me with this information, so I
        guess there may well be a problem with it in that respect.
        It's the best fungicide for CPs, but that sounds like a risk not
        worth taking if there's any possibility of it coming into contact
        with pregnant women.
        Anyone know any more details about this?

Happy (but careful) growing,

Peter
