GRAPHIC....I left a condensate tablet in my pocket

[jpingram55]

Was at a customer, threw a tablet in my right pocket. Well, never made into the pan lol. Hours later, sitting on my porch drinking some beers I feel this burning sensation below my right cheek lol. Well I pulled out the tablet, swollen, discolored, irritated skin from sweating with it there all day i absorbed it ☹️.

Not pleasant, lesson learned.

When I first started out I was given a garden hose, a pump sprayer, and a van. I was sent to wash a bunch of rooftop unit condenser coils with pretty much zero clue as to what I was doing. I was using coil cleaner at about 100% concentration, and after a while my foot started tingling a little bit. I didn't think much of it and just kept on going. Towards the end of the day my foot started burning. As I drove home it started hurting worse and worse. When I finally got home and got my boot off, a layer of skin came off with it, and my foot looked pretty gnarly.

I sent my girlfriend to Walgreens to get me some ointment and gauze, and each morning I would wrap up my burnt foot and stuff it into my boot and go to work, but it hurt like a bastard and caused me to limp and wince in pain every once in a while for a few days. I never told anyone at work because I was too embarrassed since I think it was just my first week on the job.

Sorry about your sore blistered up ass, but we could have probably done without the pics.

Go to a doctor and get it documented that it was a work related incident.

With OSHA regs, insurance matters, reports, write ups, etc I would hesitate when minor surface injury....

Kinda sorta. Was on top of this six or eight story building. Can't remember what I was doing there. Anyway, went to take a break and sat on this un-opened five gallon bucket. What I didn't realize was that it had been there so long the lid cracked when I sat on it. My ass started burning a bit later, as it was chemical cleaner for the cooling tower.

Can't remember what I did, I know I didn't have a change of clothes in the truck. Probably just grabbed the garden hose and soaked myself down. But yeah, chemical burn it was.

Lol, yeah I'm banking on it. Anyone ever done this before or am I the grand prize winner?

I stuck a rag that had Virginia 10 on it in my back pocket, between my billfold and ME.
Never felt a thing,,,,,until the next day. It took a billfold size patch of hide off my south side.

Loctite Chisel Gasket Remover.

On thing we all hate is getting that baked on head gasket off the head of a Copeland. For years I used a hammer and a painters 6 in 1 tool (was a great chisel for this). Guy I was working with had said something about the Loctite, so we got some and tried it.

Donned some nitrile gloves, and went to work. I’d work on one head, helper on the other.

Shit, musta cut my glove, finger is burning, new glove.

A minute later, same thing. I can’t figure out what I’m doing to cut them. All of a sudden helper is cussing up a storm and peeling his gloves off.

The Loctite was eating up the gloves, and then our fingers.

We went back to the Hammer/Chisel. I now use a wire brush in a drill.

I don’t know what that Loctite is actually good for but it’s some nasty shit.

To address the concern of reporting this an injury, I felt it as a minor injury and my boss is aware of it. I fortunately work for a decent company and have no reason right to think they'll do me dirty. At least until break more stuff or hurt myself more 🤣

And it has healed up really good.
