i'm pretty much okay now. they said that if my condition worsens to just go straight to the emergency room again, do not pass go, all that good stuff. when i left, they HAD to remind me that this shit is a nasty known carcinogen (which i did know, since i HAD actually read the damn MSDS about it). now that i have the stuff in a safer, stabler form (i don't have to wear a mask when working with it) i should be okay. it was just a wake up call that i'm not invicible in lab, but there should have been measures, more costly or not, to prevent what happened today. it also reminded me of my cousin, who worked in chem labs before any of these safety standards really came into place (shit, they were still mouth pipetting back then), and definitely put me back in the cautious perspective of what i work with and why i work with it. hopefully i won't see any long term effects from what happened today, but hopefully by the time this crap would cause me cancer, i'll have cured it.Pandora said:Seriously, I can't imagine any job could be fun enough to be worth that.
So what's the deal now f33nx? Do you have to get tests n'stuff done? Or are you okay now?
