Thinking of getting this UV black light

I want to use it to track down any rodent nests I might have in the house somewhere...

But I got worried that it advertises it can also cure resin... isn't that dangerous if exposed to bare skin and eyes?

I mean, don't you need a high exposure of UV to cure resin?

I'll admit, I have close to no idea about how this works lol

[quote]Black lights are usually fluorescent lamps or incandescent light bulbs modified to allow only the emission of UVA and some visible light. UVA is thought to cause premature ageing and has recently been linked to some skin cancers, however UVB is the main cause of skin cancer. Exposure to UVA from black lights is well below the recognised safe limits and is not hazardous to people using them, working in their vicinity or who have them in their home. Exposure from black lights would be much lower than your exposure to UVA outdoors.[/quote]

I have a black light flashlight. I use it when I clean carpets and to check for uranium glass.
