Vaporizing Oxalic Acid, crush and strain?

I fed some vaporized Oxalic Acid into my TBH.
There is a light grey coating over all the comb.
What does this mean for crushing/straining as a
honey harvest method?

Would the residue on the hive be harmful to humans? - Mike

Well, here's the whole story: About a month ago I did the Oxalic Acid treatment. My guess is that I didn't recognize I was getting robbed plus they were weak so I lost the hive, leaving me with a lot of honey. I'll leave some for the spring installation, but I'd like to take one and crush/harvest it.
I'm concerned about that residue. I'll try brushing it off with a brush.
