-Used to stick my head in a big bag of powdered asbestos to use it as a filler for epoxy
-used to lap HgCdTe by hand with nitrile gloves which easily broke through
-Used enough HNO3 and H2SO4 that most of my clothes had to be thrown away due to burn holes
-Used to spin photoresist and BARC with no fume hood
-Used TCE a lot
-Used to clean milling machines with rags and kerosene (actually varnoline, whatever that is)
-used to dunk my hands in about 20 gallons of HF (with one pair of gloves) to clean large heavy synchrotron parts- no face shield, no chemical smock (too young to say no).

My lab in grad school specialized in sulfur and selenium compounds. One of our post-docs used to brag that he worked with some of the most toxic compounds in existence (he was a douche). He died of cancer at 32.
We really were dumb when we were younger and invincible.

I'm in the process of reading this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Porsche-Road-Z...8504334&sr=1-1
...great book. I always knew that Porsche and VW were always joined at the hip, but never realized prior to reading how much we were linked into Mercedes and Audi also. Well worth a read if you've not seen it before.
