Perhaps you'll splash some oxalic acid in your eyes, John...then you can
sell your boat and get yourself a seeing-eye dog.

Aren't you sweet.

Anyone who is stupid enough to use oxalic acid without eye protection,
even after being warned not to, perhaps needs to find out why he was
warned. Here is a statement from a source for buying Oxalic acid:
Warning: Oxalic Acid is still and acid and should be treated with
respect, do not be lulled into complacency.
In its purified form, oxalic acid is a highly corrosive and toxic
substance.
Latex gloves should be worn at all times when using it and it should
always be mixed and used in a well-ventilated area.
The gasses given off are dangerous and have been suspected by some in
causing health problems.
Always protect your skin,wear a dust mask when mixing ANY powder, eye
protection is a must and whenever I am fooling around with chemicals I
always have a supply of fresh water available for flushing off spills.
If swallowed, give plenty of milk or water, preferably water. Do not
induce vomiting. Contact a poison control hotline. If inhaled take a
break and get some fresh air. If the nausea or headache persists,
contact the poison control hotline. Used Oxalic Acid should be
considered hazardous waste and should be disposed of properly.
