My mother had a supply of caustic soda in crystal form, which she diluted to make cleaners. Apparently on one occasion, some of the crystals got spilled on the floor, and I, being a wobbly toddler at the time, sat down in the vicinity. I still, 75 years later, have a quarter-size scar on the back of my calf. Pretty potent stuff, a little goes a long way !
I’ll bet if you could buy that stuff nowadays, you’d have to dress like a deep-sea diver to handle it.
