Most of you know this by now, but for those with little real world experience let me remind you....

This chit burns like hell if you get enough of it on you and especially if it stays there for awhile.

Here's what happened:

I'm spraying the gutters, soffit, facia, etc, okay?
Got a little extension off the ball valve, no big deal.

I wear long sleeves because I sweat like a cheap hooker on payday at a navy base.
I don't/can't wear sunscreen and I'd rather not look like a cigar. Anyway...

My sleeves were wet from rinsing and stuff from earlier and then I started spraying some mixdown on the stuff when I noticed a little tingle down my arm. No big deal. I rinsed my sleeve and moved on.

I did this 3 times before I had enough sense to pull up my sleeve and notice the first degree burns.... And possibly worse.

All from a very liitle tiny bit of mix coming out of a doped up fitting.
Not enough to spray, just enough to run down the nipple, pass the valve and soak into my shirt.

So be careful out there guys, protect yourselves from the sun and the SH.
