<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2078440, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m still puzzled myself about which part of my response constituted &quot;tough talk (macho attitudes)&quot;. If I&#039;m inadvertently hurting someone&#039;s feelings, I&#039;d like to understand why.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>See, this is exactly the kind of misinformation that I&#039;m trying to correct. Gasoline gives you a significantly increased risk of blood cancer (from the benzene it contains), liver damage, and kidney damage, just from chronic exposure (even if you never suffer acute effects). Acetone doesn&#039;t; as another poster said, it&#039;s produced naturally in your body anyhow, and your body has effective mechanisms for clearing it. Acetone also biodegrades in the environment, breaking down completely over a period of weeks; gasoline, not so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>As plenty of people have said here, and as every can will warn you, acetone is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, and <i>moderately</i> toxic. Don&#039;t leave it open indoors where the vapor can build up. Don&#039;t use it near sources of ignition. If you have rags soaked in it, put them outside until they dry; it evaporates quickly from paper or rags, which means it can build up to dangerous concentrations indoors while that&#039;s happening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
