yep it was like somebody hit me between the eyes with a 2x4 ... LOL ... takes your breath RIGHT AWAY ... man ...

reminded me of that train wreck in the USA about 15-20 years ago where the Ammonia tanker broke open ... people tried to drive through the "fog" not knowing what it was ... of course, their cars stopped right in the middle of it and they tried to run ... fatal concentration is 300ppm if memory serves, and there were readings of around 10,000ppm near the rail tanker car ... ouch ... double ouch ...

There was a time when film developing chemistry used a formulin fix hardener so the emulsion could take some handling without damage. That meant manipulating glass jugs of formaldehyde.

I was in a pro lob once when someone dropped and broke a jar of it.
We opened all the doors and vacated the lab. But formaldehyde has a habit of hanging around in areas not fully ventilated. Hours after the lab was aired out, you could walk down a hall, turn a corner, and oh, momma. My sinuses were roadkill.
