How did you get this processed? The film lab told me no more IR film because the processing is toxic.

I did it myself at home using the standard E6 kits from the Film Photography Project. The current aerochrome from Dean that you see in black tubes on eBay is safe for C41 (color negative) or E6 (reversal). There were older versions of Aerochrome that I believed used C22 chemicals and those are not available any more.

I thought the development chemicals for all color film were toxic? Maybe IR is more so, in some way?

This is the limit of my knowledge on the subject. They said it was no longer a thing they did, it is super bad, ok, bummer. What is the new solution? Freaky expensive camera. :-(
