Okay, I'll Wear Gloves...

If it comes in a special bottle wrapped in a thick plastic bag and is stored buried in sand in a super thick paint-can-like container, I'm willing to buy that it's pretty damn toxic.

I spent a good part of my day pulling boxes of 1 ml tubes (think half the size of your pinky finger) out of the freezer and trying to interpret the writing on top of each one before they began to thaw. Reading other peoples' handwriting is bad enough when it's not a series of seemingly arbitrary numbers, letters, and symbols written small enough to fit on a tiny round sticker, and having limited time with each box made it super fun, but I did eventually update and correct the stock catalogue.

Lab work is super glamorous.
