Never have and have used gas and carb cleaner to 'wash' my hands. Now that I'm realizing I'm not invincible, perhaps those nitrile gloves I have will get more use....
My opinion this is far fetched. I was in automotive repair starting in 1968 through 1985, then running my own repair shop , then owning, driving, maintaining 18 wheelers. Working using chemicals, cleaning solvents, being around asbestos from brake shoes, clutch discs and so far so good. My question to you is, what did Lou Gehrig do to contract the disease.I have a friend who was diagnosed with ALS three years ago and died 6/24 at age 52. The best guess is to how he contracted it is exposure to solvents while working as a mechanic 25 years ago.
