 # If one is mixing a base to acid (or vice versa), do it slowly. Mixing vinegar with sodium carbonate or bicarbonate (or vice versa), for example, will generate a lot of C02, so it can bubble up in a very fast volcano-like reaction that can explode containers or spill one's chemicals.
 # Preferably use glass equipment and tools. If anything appart from glass is being used, make sure EXACTLY what material its made of and google "chemical compatibility charts" or "chemical resistance" or similar, to find out of the material is resistant to the chemicals used. Always check at least two chemical compatibility/resistance charts from different sources to be completely sure.

 #  ALWAYS use safety goggles and gloves, specially when handling lye. Lye can blind you easily if it falls in your eyes or can make very nasty burns! Also use safety equipment when handling solvents in general.
-#  When working with strong bases, have some vinegar at easy reach to neutralize any spills.
+#  '''When working with strong bases, have some vinegar at easy reach to neutralize any spills'''.
 # Make sure you know what you are doing before extracting. Certain chemicals might be incompatible with others and some reactions can be dangerous, so make sure you know what is being done, dont improvise without really understanding the principles and dont mix chemicals up without being sure it is the correct thing to do.
 # Always read the labels of whatever chemical one might use. Make sure there are no unwanted impurities. Google the brandname of the chemical and try to find MSDS (material safety data sheet) for the particular chemical, because usually the MSDS will have information not only about safety guideliness but also it usually states the possible impurities or admixtures in a given chemical.

 ==Law==
-While not exactly concerning health but definitely related to safety, anyone embarking on a DMT experience and/or extraction should be aware of the possible legal consequences of their actions. Pure DMT (and therefore extractions) will be considered illegal in all the UN-bound countries and can land you in jail if found out.

 [https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=21527  On the Legal Status of DMT Source Plants in the US (with a discussion of the religious use defense)]
 Plants containing DMT are usually in a legal grey area and it's control will highly depend on each country's current priorities and policies. Its important to be informed on your country's legal precedents and past cases to know what risks one is facing, specially when ordering/importing ethnobotanical plants from other countries.

 * Somatic effects such as possibility of increased heart-rate means people with dangerous heart or other life-threatening conditions are contra-indicated, and should NOT use DMT unless they have consulted a qualified health professional about it.

 * DO NOT use MAOIs (so for example an ayahuasca brew) together with stimulants (like mdma/amphetamines) or SSRI medication (like prozac), this can cause serotonin syndrome and lead to convulsions or even death!
