Scented Fingerprint Powder. Why?
When processing for latent prints with fingerprint powder, it has no odor. YOU’RE BREATHING THAT STUFF IN! Hopefully not in the amount to kill you, but still.
Powder In The Ruff™ (sifted, blended and packaged here by the Lynn Peavey Company) is different from all the others. Ours has the distinct smell of cinnamon or vanilla. If you smell something good and it’s not lunch time, you’re breathing it, and you should think of ventilation strategies. Because you’re taking that stuff in! Maybe tighten your mask. Or wear one for starters. Go upwind. Or maybe you are using too much.
So, it is simply a safety issue. It doesn’t cost anything more. And, some very large agencies have tested Powder In The Ruff against the others and found the results to be superior! We must be doing something right!
