I have concentrated Hydrochloric and Phosphoric acid, Oxalic acid powder too.

Ah, the old Flit Guns.
Shame they banned DDT in 1956, the malaria mosquito was almost extinct. Another couple of years and it would be gone.

In the 70s as an apprentice I was expected to work with asbestos, hydrofluoric acid, trike, carbon tet, acetone etc with just rubber gloves.
