Health stuff is always safety first, but I think everyone undersells just how much of a mess and pain it is to work with resin. For a rough magnitude comparison, go to your work area and spray a can of spray paint at nothing in particular for a full minute. Also, imagine you dropped your phone into an open can of paint, and now you have to fish it out and clean it without getting paint everywhere. If your setup can't cope with the fallout of doing that, you are not ready for a resin printer.

As an aside, I have found the smell of curing resin to be one of the worst things I have ever smelled; an extremely pungent plastic-y chemical smell which is hard to describe, but at least you get a warning if you don't bother to look at the pictures of dead trees and dead fish on the bottle. I'd much much rather work with hide glue again, which has the consistency of warm snot and smells like vomit.
