Please don't suggest that anyone put petrol on their hands- it
contains
benzene, for instance, which is really not nice.

I days of old, when I designed and used vacuum systems, we often
used
benzene to clean mechanical components and, occasionally, our
hands.
My hands did not suffer any ill.


Benzene is carcinogenic, especially via occupational exposure.

In that case, either its potency is quite low, or I am lucky.
