No, but I was doing some general reading up on paint and such. I made the mistake of applying some liquid electrical tape with poor ventilation once. That's all it took for me. That stuff is really foul.

Between the cigarettes and occasional nasty automotive chemicals, I wonder just how much damage I've already done.

A few other OSHA type links turned up that, yes, isocyanates are bad for your skin (I hope this doesn't actually come as a surprise to anyone). Nothing I've read suggests that anything more than skin irritation should occur from skin exposure to isocyanates, however I think that's quite naive.

Of course, with paint and most of these other nasty organic funk, it's not just isocyanates that you want to watch out for.

So I guess some are aromatic, and some are not.

The lesson here is that safety is cheap, compared to a lifetime of damage.
