Applying anhydrous can be very dangerous and or deadly if you're not educated on what it can do to a person.

NH3 means no water. So it seeks out water and will burn the human body soaking up all it's liquid until water is put on it to neutralize the NH3. This is why there is always a source of water on every portable NH3 tank delivered to the field. There is also a water tank at every filling station where the NH3 wagons are filled. It must accomadate a full grown person and be within 50 ft of the filling hose. 50ft is a long way when you can't breath or have our eyes burnt and can't see where you need to go.

Get educated on it and be d@mn careful. I've been to too many classes and seen too many films on victims whom been injured with it and I still don't want to mess with it.
