All chemists from 1925 are dead.

Today, LSD would never be discovered. Guy didn’t even use gloves and lived to 102.
I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours this condition faded away.
This was, altogether, a remarkable experience - both in its sudden onset and its extraordinary course. It seemed to have resulted from some external toxic influence; I surmised a connection with the substance I had been working with at the time, lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate. But this led to another question: how had I managed to absorb this material? Because of the known toxicity of ergot substances, I always maintained meticulously neat work habits. Possibly a bit of the LSD solution had contacted my fingertips during crystallization, and a trace of the substance was absorbed through the skin. If LSD-25 had indeed been the cause of this bizarre experience, then it must be a substance of extraordinary potency. There seemed to be only one way of getting to the bottom of this. I decided on a self-experiment.
Exercising extreme caution, I began the planned series of experiments with the smallest quantity that could be expected to produce some effect, considering the activity of the ergot alkaloids known at the time: namely, 0.25 mg (mg = milligram = one thousandth of a gram) of lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate.
From LSD: My Problem Child by Albert Hofmann. I will leave it to others to explain all the ways in which this is absolutely hair-raising.
Curie, Death,
Be “alpha” in the grave 😎😎 supaaa
Nah the alpha is fine, it’s the beta and gamma radiation that got her
You got me,
Except if this going inside the corps 😅🤗
My uncle was a med lab tech in the hospital. They still had “no mouth pipetting” signs up in the late 90s.
I’ll never get the vague vinegar stains out of my hand
Don’t look in my lab please.
Dunno about now, but I had to pipette stuff in BTech. That’s less than 10 years ago.
