Thanks Scott, you're right. Protective gear including chemical gloves and a respirator/filter. I scold my friends who broadcast it dry but they do it anyway.
One of the sales kids at Garden Supply told me that lots of his customers apply dry lime with leaf blowers. He didn't seem to think that was a problem.
Even wet, it's still dangerous. I've been leveling the slab floors inside my house with sand-topping mix. The rubber boots were a hassle so I just went for it barefoot. A few hours of wading in it and my feet blistered - it was the lime.
