It's just as scary as sodium chloride. Any chemical can't be good for you.
Too much of either isn't a good thing, but in the right proportions both
are useful.
DAP is a source of nitrogen used for grapes which are low in natural
nitrogen content. Just don't put in too much, in which case you'll make
ethyl carbamate which is a potential carcinogen. Use only what is
necessary and you'll be ok.
