... I don't mean to be insensitive, but I just can't believe
anyone would be so foolish as to poison themselves and then post to a
newsgroup and sit around waiting for a response before dealing with the=

situation.  What does this person do when the lab is on fire?  Post to
alt.sci.physics to see what is the best way to extinguish it?  Four day=
s
later the lab is a pile of smoldering cinders and our friend is still
sitting patiently at the computer waiting for a bunch of over-educated
knuckle-heads to finish arguing over the theoretical combustibility of
laboratories.

Dear Marc,

If this does indeed happen, your friend sitting patiently at the 
computer must have received some really good response so that he / she
and the computer in the lab can become fire-proof !!!  :-)

FYI, the original poster, Helene, did wash her arm with soap and 
water, as any sensible person would do.  She apparently posted her msg =

afterwards to ask if things would get worse.

How are you, Helene ?  Seen a doctor yet ?
Hope everything's alright.
