whether you use oven or microwave you will be putting a certain amount of the "dust" into the air which can cause problems for anyone with asthma, allergies or other respiratory concerns. Healthy folks should not breathe it in either. Should always be moistened before working with it. This is not "scare" anyone just FYI. Never cook perlite - the dust from it is worse :-O
