Maybe its "borate" rather than "barite." Boric acid and the borate ion are poisonous to ants and termites and many other insects. "Barite" should be a barium mineral, and barium salts are innocuous to human beings. Arsenic is bad news to everyone. I understand the Byrd apple orchards in Virginia are bad contaminated with arsenic in the soil (as is southern Argentina). Always wear a mask or respirator when sawing any wood treated or untreated. Woodworkers are subject to serious respiratory diseases and cancer. Be careful of your thumbs. I once knew a woodworkers who had all of his fingers and thumbs.
