    Doubt it very much, WOO - it's pretty natural (in origin, anyway, even if not in the way it came to be in that state.....) Can't see there would be any risk in using it.

    We used it in a bed getting it ready for planting roses, and had to get VERY thorny roses to keep our dog off!

    As long as its steralised, (and I think it all is these day) I cant see any problem.
    Dogs are attracted to it as well, but I think the scent must dissapear after a few days.
