I assume chemical manufacturers and distributors are required to write fairly conservative warnings on their products, but... just how cautious should we be re: incidental reagent contact?
That is, i've noticed that for "eye and skin contact" some (TF-100 test kit) reagents say "treat symptoms as needed" and others simply say "seek medical attention" -- for the latter, does that mean that a few drops of skin contact is A Big Deal or is it only eye contact that warrants calling poison control/doc?
I realize there are a broad set of chemicals involved, so maybe the question is "have y'all ever sought medical attention involving reagents?"
(follow-up question: in test quantities, are all the reagents disposable via residential sewer systems, or should we be collecting some of them and taking them to hazmat disposal facilities?)
