Ack! Ack!
I was trying to put together a gel apparatus today using liquid acrylamide. In the process, I think I sprayed myself with liquid acrylamide, Some got on my face and maybe a few drops even into my mouth. Powder acrylamide, btw, is supposed to be very poisonous for you and it would be a BAD idea to inhale or ingest it. Liquid acrylamide can't be much better. I immediately went to the bathroom to try to spit it out and washed my face repeatedly. Now I have a funny taste in my mouth, I can't decide if it's from the Chocolate truffle I had for breakfast. The other worrying thing is, liquid acrylamide is said to be able to polymerize and be absorbed by skin. Who knows what funky business it could be up to with my cells?
