               It is possible that the water from a x-mas tree stand
               could contain some harmful compounds.It would depend on
               what species the tree was. Some conifers are known to
               have compounds in their sap that are dangerous enough to
               require mill workers handling their green lumber to wear
               respirators. I would prefer to err on the side of caution.
