If you are a REAL lab rat, you don’t really care. The stories I’ve heard of lab rats (including my own accidental stuff), I learned they don’t really care at some point. They often say “Well, I must already have cancer, so what!”.
I mean… with that attitude and behaviour towards safety rules… probably yes.
And yeah, nothing worse for teaching students proper and safe handling of chemicals than old technicians.
“we never used gloves to pour THF out of this 10L vessel!” “ah just don’t breath in too strongly and if you feel funny, go to the window and get a quick breath of fresh air”.
Nono, it’s not that. It’s more like getting used to it over time, so people get more loosely about safety rules (which should not be performed but happens often though up to the point that you just don’t get kicked). It’s bad normal huamn behaviour.
Man I don’t know if I could eat out of that canister.
Its so ingrained as “CHEMICAL, DO! NOT! EAT!” In my mind.
the part of the label specifying “100% edible” really doesn’t help with suspicions either 🤣
So are the stickers they put on bananas. And the banana peel itself! Doesn’t mean I’m interested in eating them…
How about now?
That doesnt geht any reaction from me, as I dont use it. It’s the USA safety sign, right?
Yes. Health, fire, reactivity, and other. Each rated 0-5.
0/5 health? You want to kill me?
