Careful with chemicals

 Not the illegal pharmaceutical kind.  I am talking about the stuff most
of us have in our shop or garage.

I picked this up off of RMH.

Now I knew this stuff was hazardous but I had no idea it was that
potent, if not handled properly.

Next on my list of things to do is to assemble an MSDS book for all the
crap I have in the garage.

Wow!  Thanks for that.  I have a tendency to take warnings with a
grain of salt but it sure seems like reading the label and complying
with all warnings is A  GOOD  IDEA.

Note what he did (didn't do) afterwards:

  "Though I sometimes felt okay, I was really in a lot of pain on and

  I was confused and could hardly talk, so I finally went to the

I am truly jaw dropping astonished when I read how he handled
some really obvious medical issues after his exposure. Sometimes
you really don't want to be a hero.

 Yeah, that was just nuts.  Welding around visible amounts of liquid chemicals,
especially without ever having read the cautions, wasn't the brightest thing
I've ever heard of, either.  Guy's lucky to be breathing.

Yeah, there are two lessons to be learned from this guy's experience.
