Does it really make that big of a difference, or can I get away without using it?

O.K. it is not "really toxic". It is an industrial detergent, not something you would want to use in a bath but o.k. to come in contact with. If you have anything else from Dharma that has a Dharma label on it, you will see the same warning on all of them. This is a coverall that they are required to put on their packages b/c of state law. If you have Dharma's catalog, there is a section near the front about these labels/warnings.
If you don't use it you might get splotching form other colors(if you have a multi colored item). It will also take alot more rinsing bc the synthaprol keeps the dye from reseetling on the fabric during the wash.
