LOL Oh, lord. You remind me of my learning that things that look alike don't act alike. I handled a white sodium hydroxide tablet without gloves because anything looking like an aspirin must have the same properties. Luckily, there were no scars.

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 ...
