extremely toxic to humans, in fact it has a very low toxicity.
Yeah, maybe very low to everything but one organ - skin. In the early
building years, when I was even more ignorant than I am now, I frequently
cleaned my hands with acetone. Several years later the skin on my fingers
would not self lubricate and I suffered continual cracks on the working surfaces
of my fingers - severe cracking during the winter. Now, 10 years later, I
have almost completely recovered except for a spot on the road rage response
finger. I cannot allow my unprotected hands to come in contact with
any "spirits" (gasoline, etc) without the skin instantly drying out.
