I will use the obvious niosh dust mask and gloves, and old clothes. I have two little ones and don't want to contaminate them. I have a washing machine in the shop for work clothes, so I can leave coveralls in the shop and not wash along with their clothes. Just want to be safe around them.

Just as long as you don't eat it, it won't do any
brain damage.

Just use a little extra caution in those areas and you (and yours) will be fine.
