1. gasoline

A really spicy pepper can stay there for days. God forbid you wipe your eyes with pepper juice on your hands.

[LincolnMcGrath]

3. Or scratch yourself MLB style

[ihaveaquestion]

4. Road Tar

It's sticky and can't be removed. It has to wear off.

[Sentath]

29. Not quite true

Any sufficiently high concentration of orange peel oil will melt it right off.

Now, whether you want to melt it off and expose the perhaps burnt flesh beneath is another question.

47. Road Tar will come off with Wesson Oil. I went to U.C. Santa Barbara

and there is a natural oil seep off coal oil point and if you get that stuff on you when walking on the beach it is worse that road tar. Several older students told me to use wesson oil and it worked like a charm.

[scarlet_owl]

5. Onion juice.

The smell stays in your fingernails and it takes about a week to go away.

[MissMillie]

14. Self tanner

You actually shouldn't get it anywhere on your body, but the worst is having orange palms.

[pagerbear]

21. Reminds me of a story I once heard

....about a fellow who in the dark mistook self tanner for something else.

[Lavender Brown]

25. Yikes! (nt)

[GregW]

[Hemprus]

23. Ink!

I use to do industrial clean up in plants after accidents, nothing super toxic though. Once at the Hartford Courant, in CT, one of the printing presses ink line exploded and we had to go in to clean up a huge puddle of ink. I had ink on various parts of my body for weeks. We even had suits and gloves, but ink can penetrate anything it seems.

[Bonhomme Richard]

27. Eel Slime

Fishermen will know what I'm talking about.

[kodi]

28. HF, hydrofluoric acid

its so bad that you can't neutralize it by pouring a strong base on top of it if it has touched the skin. you have to inject the base in front of the boundary of the HF as it eats thru the skin to attempt to neutralize it.

it will eat right to the bone, then dissolve the bone.

[keep_left]

48. yes, terrible stuff, especially when concentrated...

When I was first studying organic chemistry, I used to get tutoring from a very bright grad student who worked in medicinal chemistry. She used some of the worst stuff you can imagine--things no undergrad would ever have access to, including an acid cocktail that was supercharged with a component of rocket fuel!

Yet she said the only thing she was really afraid of was HF. So nasty that it eats glass!

[slinkerwink]

31. beans or mustard...

[Van Helsing]

32. Any and all acids and bases.

n/t

[Canuckistanian]

43. I hate it when that happens

[Pithlet]

35. Easter egg dye

The stuff I bought this year at Kroger must have come from a waste dump. Not only could I not get the dye off, it left a very sticky residue. For an entire day, everything I touched stuck to my fingers. I tried everything I could find in the house to get it off, and nothing worked. I had to wait until that layer of skin wore off on its own before my hands looked normal again.

[camero]

36. Diesel fuel

That stuff takes 3 days to get off your hands even with pumice and smells to high heaven.

[Sequoia]

37. Chewing gum in your hair

[MikeG]

39. The blood. All that blood.

It just won't come off. I keep washing and washing and washing and washing and its STILL THERE.
I can still hear him laughing at me. Laughing and laughing and laughing. Who's laughing now, eh?
He said I was crazy, he said my theories wouldn't work. Well, he was wrong. And so were all the others. All of them. Nobody's calling me crazy NOW.
