How does metallic gallium damage eyes? I see lots of SDSs for gallium claiming that it's corrosive (well, that's kinda true) and that it causes heavy eye damage in contact with eyes.
@ruuda Yeah, the SDS claims that contact with eye is dangerous and gives the standard post-contact instructions (take contact lenses out if able, wash with large water flow for XX minutes, contact a doctor). I don't get what's that trying to prevent.
@robryk Most solids can cause heavy eye damage when they come into contact with your eyes, especially when they are sharp and/or move fast, but I suppose that is not the explanation you are looking for :P
