Yesterday I made a silver nitrate solution for a lab, I was wearing gloves, and I even changed my gloves a few times throughout the lab. But this morning I noticed some black/blue spots on my hands. I am aware that silver nitrate can stain skin, but can it stain through gloves?
Update: Apparently almost everyone at my school who took quantitative analysis lab got similar stains. One guy referred to it as “a right of passage.” Probably nothing to worry about.
Question 2: how long does it take to go away?
...this is horrifying.
Imagine if that had been something else. There's no shortage of lipophilic carcinogens.
As the other person said: If it gets on your gloves you've already reached a fail state.
Like not to be dramatic but this is how your brain ends up advancing a neurologist's career rather than your own.
