To avoid buying, making up and storing stock reagents, buy an AFB staining
kit from Newcomer Supply, Richard Allan,Poly Scientific or another reliable
source to avoid exposure to some of these chemicals.   We used Kinyouns
acid fast method, but others work too.   

Phenol must be worked with under a fume hood, and some dyes are carcinogenic.
