Oil of wintergreen (methyl salicylate) is toxic. Be sure you’re soldering in a well-ventilated space as you should in any case.

Yes, the extractor works well Smile    Thanks for the heads-up.

After a thorough perusal of the web-info the toxicity seems to be either immediately orally ingested or long term cortical application with underlying conditions.
I'm using a vapor extractor for soldering and other than the residual aroma from the wipe pad I assume no further deleterious effects ?
