Oven Cleaner Burns
 

I know someone that got oven cleaner on his arm and didn't notice it for 30 minutes. It looked like a smudge when he tried to wipe it off but it wouldn't come off (because it was a burn obviously). Are there any effects this could have?

Was your "friend" too wrapped up in some nerd past-time to notice that he got oven cleaner on his arm {if it caused a burn mark, it must have burned right}. Oven cleaners are typically pretty corrosive, am I right, so I would suggest washing it thoroughly and applying some aloe or some other appropriate skin creme. And then be a little sad because your "friend" is permanently disfigured.

Nerd past-time??? This is my dad and he was just cleaning the oven. I think it is surprising that he didn't notice it too!
