Had to laugh at this -- it's not your fault, but the main-stream media has successfully promoted a brain-dead paranoia about anything with a 'chemical-sounding' name, based on the fact that the average MSM journalist (a) knows less than the average 5th grader about science, and (b) knee-jerks agreement with anything Greenpeace does and says, no matter how stupid and uninformed. The reason your question is so funny, is that muriatic acid *is* natural: your stomach is full of it, though it's usually called "hydrochloric acid" in biology texts!

Along the same line, Penn Jillette, of Penn and Teller, did a hilarious piece a few years ago getting college students at an eco-conference to sigh a petition banning "dihydrogen monoxide", AKA "water". Just about everybody they approached, signed. (Caution: not all the language is family safe!)

Now, the muriatic acid you'll buy at Lowes is more concentrated than what's in your stomach . . . but it's the same stuff. There's a link to a page about handling it safely in my signature.
