Safety First!
If you aren’t looking to biomod, get protective gear. You don’t have to go for full hazmat gear or anything - despite what that one episode of Top Gear might tell you - but a suit suitable for painting or fumigation, gloves, goggles and a face mask will protect you from all but the most ridiculous accidental wavings.
And odds are pretty good that the absolute worst-case scenario, even the full space suit is unlikely to actually prevent a biomod anyway. On the other hand, one is likely to sustain an injury potentially serious enough in that scenario that the biomod will prevent death.
