Thermal paste = deadly?

[Joemonkey]

hehe, i get thermal paste all over my hands at work on a regular basis, never batted an eye about it... i wash my hands when i'm done messing with it, and if there's some that i can still see/feel i use an alcohol pad to get the rest off

i think you'll be fine

Although I realize this thread is full of sh!t, and I can't tell if you're joking or not, but.. just incase you're not... you aren't exactly going to "see" cancer develop.. lol

Just because that's where the carcinogen contacts you doesen't mean that is where cancer will form. Further.. it generally takes many years for it to form, let alone be something that you can actually see.. lol

That's for Arctic Silver, which isn't what we're talking about. We're talking about the generic white grease from Speeze.

7. Disposal of Thermal Grease Included with Speeze Coolers, Health Hazards
Fanner Tech USA Corp. thermal grease (RONEX) contains heavy metals which are quite toxic, and should not be disposed of in regular trash. Contact with the substance is particularly hazardous. Since aluminum hydroxide, a stabilizer in all carbon chain-based cooling pastes, is listed as a class III carcinogen (Rb. St. 12 §18p2), any kind of contact with skin or mucous membranes is dangerous and should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible.

See that? Evidence of serious brain damage. Thermal grease is indeed dangerous.

[Sid59]

wash your hands multiple times and tell yourself you don't have OCD.

I can't believe you haven't been to the ER yet. Go now.

 

[SilentRavens]

Yeah its deadly....if you eat it.

Not so much a big deal if you just wash it off your hands.

There was NO film on my HSF, just a plastick cover that covered the whole bottomb with it designed to go around the bottom. Please stop jocking, I am trying to be serious here.

Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit to me. Why haven't you gone to the ER yet?

 

[SimsFreak]

I don't know who is telling the truth or not, I don't have any hard evidence for a reason to go. Has anyone used the speeze's grease and used there hands and still lived? lol

 

[dighn]

well i haven't used speeze before so i can't say

 

[SimsFreak]

Alright thanks, so no it's not deadly. I hate it when people do this. Telling me that's it bad, that I should see a doctor when it's nothing. Thanks everyone!

I just talked to my dad (Hes been on a plane for a few hours so that's why I asked here) He said it's perfectly save, so I really don't think it's funny to be posting stuff saying it's dangerous if it's not.

 

[SportSC4]

i was trying to be sarcastic... VERY sarcastic....

sigh.
