Leslie,
Your digit is OK ... as the Man said, wash it off. There's only ONE acid you sure don't want to touch whatsoever and that's called HF = Hydrofluoric. That is BAD news.
At your age I went to a movie with a little bottle of nitric acid in my pocket ... and some spilled! Ow! But it was washed off an hour or so later.

Freeman.. what the heck were you doing with nitric acid in your pocket? You cant honestly expect me to believe that you spilled nitric acid on yourself, and all you said was OW..and waited 1 hour to wash it off??? Surely it must have been diluted.

Hi Mark,
Believe it or Not, it's true. I was at that terrible age (long since gone in case you reply!!!) when acids interested me. The nitric was in a little glass bottle with a tapered top. For some stupid reason I kept it in a trouser pocket. Was it strong? No idea! But I believe it burnt some holes in the woodwork of the 'guest house' we were living in which made me persona non grata.
When? l941 era. Where. Weston-Super-Mare. Movie house? The Tivoli. Which Movie? ... ah, I forget ... maybe Errol Flynn conquering the world, as per usual.
P.S. Isn't that the SAME dawg you had l5 years ago ???
