[GreenKeys] Houdini lock lube

[Richard Knoppow]

    Watch out about rubber gloves. They are permeable by many 
chemicals, for instance mercury compounds. Nitrile is better but 
you must look up what kind of gloves are suitable and safe for 
various substances.
    BTW, I have reached the age where I take a lot of 
prescription drugs. I am careful to look each up and sometimes 
discuss them with the pharmacist. My doctor is careful but I have 
still had to stop or switch meds due to side effects.
     Probably the most dangerous stuff in your house is under the 
kitchen sink. Ammonia and bleach are two of the most dangerous see:

     Of course there is also lye or sodium hydroxide. Just be 
careful of it. Oh, golly, when I was a little kid I spent my 
summers in the country. I knew some farm kids. One family was 
accident prone, kid shot his toe off climbing over a fence with a 
rifle, same family a kid drank drain cleaner. I think he 
survived. Anyway, watch out for the monsters under the sink.
