[Histonet] Freelance Histology

[Hans B Snyder]

Several years ago while in the beginning stages of setting up my
histology lab, I looked into this possibility (cutting at home).  The
town hall laughed and said it is illegal for a business to run out of
ones house that uses chemicals and paraffin because of it's flammable
and explosive properties.  This made sense, but I also had heard
stories of beginning companies who have done this.  Therefore a
business running out of a residential house is doing so illegally and
maybe without insurance.

Just my two cents.
