I find it difficult to believe that BeCu 'dust' is toxic.

In the micoelectronics biz probe card probes are made of BeCu.
	
The probes a routinely lightly sanded with very fine sandpaper to
remove oxidation. 

Are all the probe card techs in the biz going to die???

I may be wrong about the probe being made out of BeCu, but I don't think so.
