wear gloves.
you never realise how absorbent skin is until it shows you. I was handling copper sulphate and got some on my hands .. washed it off, so i thought .. washed my hands again before dinner with soap. Lo, teh soaps go a lovely blue colour and gel like paint onto my hands, having to be physicallyscraped off. The damn sulphate was still there. So whatever you're doing, if it involves poisonous fluids, solvents, paints, oils etc. wear gloves and keep the poisons where they belong. Thank you.
