Don't stick your hand in dry lye.Just. Don't. Go. There.Even as a joke or lighthearted comment.Strong alkali will quickly pull water from the tissues of your skin, even if your skin is reasonably dry to start with. That's one of the reasons why an alkali burn can penetrate deeper into the skin than you'd think it could -- it "eats" its way through the skin layers until it is sufficiently diluted or chemically reacted, or it is removed from the skin.Please don't make this suggestion again! If this idea gets any tiny degree of plausibility, some gullible person somewhere is going to try it and pay the price.
