Methinks you're being a tad too worried. Years ago I ran both b & w and color development processes in my basement, never wore gloves, and would sometimes have a snack during long printing sessions. Decades later, I fathered a child and from all evidence present, the helix of our DNA is still properly twisted. While it's true that you may have a sensitivity to one or more chemical components in b & w developer, it's not like you're mixing anthrax or sarin in the same tupperware you'll take to the church social.
