Thiram
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/thiram

“Thiram is used as a fungicide to prevent crop damage in the field and to prevent crops from deterioration in storage or transport. Thiram is also used as a seed, nut, fruit, and mushroom disinfectant from a variety of fungal diseases. In addition, it is used as an animal repellent to protect fruit trees and ornamentals from damage by rabbits, rodents, and deer. Thiram has been used in the treatment of human scabies, as a sun screen, and as a bactericide applied directly to the skin or incorporated into soap. Thiram is used as a rubber accelerator and vulcanizer and as a bacteriostat for edible oils and fats. It is also used as a rodent repellent, wood preservative, and may be used in the blending of lubricant oils. Registered for use in EU countries[115]. Registered for use in the U.S.”

Human
“Since the acute toxicity of thiram is relatively low as is with most dithiocarbamates, acute intoxication in humans is unlikely to occur unless large amounts are ingested. Thiram can be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, through the skin and by inhalation of dust and fine spray mist. Inhalation can irritate the nose and throat causing coughing and wheezing. High exposure can lead to headache, dizziness, confusion, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. Contact with thiram can irritate and burn the skin and eyes. Thiram has been given a toxicity rating of 4 and the probably lethal dose for humans is 50–500 mg kg−1. Alcohol, regardless of the route of exposure to thiram, can increase thiram toxicity and contributes to most systemic poisonings.”

Gotta love those substances that have industrial uses, (Thiram is used as a rubber accelerator and vulcanizer, wood preservative), while at the same time, they say it’s not really harmful to humans.

None of the critters will have anything to do with it but don’t worry, it’s fine. They’re just dumb animals that run on instinct. You are a smart animal and should not use instinct. Just do what we say and buy our stuff.
