Yep so true. A while back, a guy working as a chemist in my home town (Perth, Western Australia) got a small splash of HF acid on his leg. He jumped in a swimming pool to try and wash it off while the ambulance was on its way. Ambulance arrived in only a couple of minutes and then a few minutes later he was in hospital. He had a emergency amputation of his leg but died shortly afterwards. I think from beginning to end was an hour or two, and it was only a small splash. Nasty stuff.

Ok, last post on this subject. He reminds me of Doc from Back to the Future.

Great post!
Glad I already use a non-acid based cleaner (Sonax 230200-740). Now you've got me thinking about the dozens of other products I have on my shelf for detailing. I always wear 6mil nitrile gloves when working on, detailing, and even when washing my car, but I have to wonder how many of these products I use are harmful for skin contact or inhalation. Time to read some labels... |
