This is one thing that those mechanic/workshop guys need to take note of.
Just read about hydrofluoric acid, an acid created by the burning of certain synthetic rubber.
It is actually very dangerous. Other acids may only corrode the skin. This one, actually intoxicate the human body itself. It penetrates deep, ionizes itself with the water contents in the body and produces fluoride matters and other toxic stuffs. No copious amounts of water may clean the penetration, as it may do to the outer skin.
Enough said, it may be necessary to amputate the limb concerned. And even that, there's no guarantee of survival.
All in all, it is also said that fluoride from whatever source can be very dangerous.
All these readings might just be enough for me to avoid fluoride toothpaste forever.
