I know napalm usage was quite common in wartime between WW2 and Vietnam, and I’m also very aware of just how damaging the substance was to the people affected. Internal damage, skin essentially melting, burning underwater (cue Phil Swift), etc. My question is, how were soldiers able to, for lack of a better word, safely use napalm without harming themselves as well as their targets?

Napalm itself,while not burning is about as harmful as gasoline because it’s basically jellied gasoline. Use the same precautions handling it as you do when refueling a vehicle and it’s perfectly safe.
Agent Orange OTOH is a whole different matter.
