The question isn't if phenol is toxic it is REALLY REALLY TOXIC. No Question at all. The question is how much phenol is in pine and how much is broken down in kiln drying. I did a lot of research a long while ago on pine chips. I can't be bothered dig up that information as it was in the 80's and is in a filing cabnet in the back of my office.
Just out of curiosity, when you say you 'did a lot of research' does that mean you raised several generations of snakes on pine shavings over several decades and studied the effects on them? Or does it mean you read a lot of books on the subject?
