Why do I have to use all possible different protection equipment (gloves, masks, ventilation and glasses) when printing in resin, but then people put uv resin directly in their fingers? And what about the ones that go in people's mouths? It has to be different right?!

Also didn't even asked about kids TOYS, it wouldn't be a thing if UV resin was so dangerous, right? RIGHT?

It sounds like you're looking for a reason to skip PPE when printing in resin.

I implore you to put up with it. It's not really the resin itself that's dangerous, its the volitile organic solvents that they're mixed with. Long term exposure is bad news. After washing and curing, the volatiles are no longer present in hazardous amounts on the part.
