(Monday) Fun: Axe Cop Chemophobia?

I may have mentioned (once or twice) my love for Internet comics. Specifically, I tend towards science-y ones, like xkcd or Ph.D. Comics, but for a complete change of pace I turn to Axe Cop.
Not familiar? It's an over-the-top parody about a super-powered policeman, who travels to other planets and meets lots of...um, unique crime fighters. Even better? It's coauthored by a 32-year-old cartoonist Ethan Nicolle and his 8-year-old brother, Malachai.

Now, Axe Cop always runs ridiculous, but one panel from the latest story arc (Axe Cop Gets Married) made me wonder. In the scene, a group of 'scientists' at an 'Atomic Science Lab' (again, written by a kid) are mixing chemicals when something goes horribly awry. The lab explodes, and the survivors mutate into animal-human hybrids.
Ridiculous? Unlikely? Sure. Funny? Of course!
But also a little bit sad - how young do we start to infer that chemical means something bad for you?
(Apparently around 8, I guess)
Happy
SAO
