I was cleaning out a chemical storage closet at work. A hydrogen chloride container leaked out onto some iodine containers. I picked one up (bare handed) and sat it down in the grass. About thirty seconds later, I noticed the steam boiling up from around the bottom of the container. This is about 45 seconds worth of contact.

      I know. I’ve worked with it myself, and I once accidentally inhaled a small volume of it.

      A-Level chemistry, innit.
