Hey everyone ... I need some info. Which substances to avoid that can pose acute (immediate) serious health hazard if exposed to it, including permanent disability or death. In case you're curious why I want to know this, I am getting into heavy experimental chemistry, lab work, titrations, etc, and I am not particularly fond of chemicals.
For example, cyanide is one to avoid.
Details would be nice as well. Anything that can be used or produced in the laboratory environment ... |

VX Gas? Plutonium? Uranium? Oprah's minge? Rosie O'Donnel's panties.
Those are substances I steer clear of. |

Yeah, sure, we're gonna be building depleted uranium weapons and nuclear warheads, as well as new sets of Rosie O'Donnel's underwear sprinkled with cyanide sugar icing.
Something more common, please ... |

Strychnine poisoning can be fatal to humans and can be introduced to the body by inhalation, swallowing or absorption through eyes or mouth. It produces some of the most dramatic and painful symptoms of any known toxic reaction. For this reason, strychnine poisoning is often used in literature and film.
Ten to twenty minutes after exposure, the body's muscles begin to spasm, starting with the head and neck. The spasms then spread to every muscle in the body, with nearly continuous convulsions, and get worse at the slightest stimulus. The convulsions progress, increasing in intensity and frequency until the backbone arches continually. Death comes from asphyxiation caused by paralysis of the neural pathways that control breathing, or by exhaustion from the convulsions. The subject will die within 2–3 hours after exposure. At the point of death, the body "freezes" immediately, even in the middle of a convulsion, resulting in instantaneous rigor mortis.

All of these substances cause so much pain and suffering, I might not even go to a lab again :nervous: they cant all be that scary. |

Hahah, trust me, there's noone that can ever get hurt by me! Noone other than me, that is :stongue: I cant even hurt a fly. But last week we had a lab and a lady passed out from some gas, I think it was hydrogen sulphide that was released from a reaction. She's OK now, though. |

Oestrogen: It makes you bleed for a whole week every month and stuff.
Oh, and it's quite common too :p |
