You might want to get gloves. Somebody on here explained very clearly why it's bad to handle with your skin even though it seems fine. I don't remember the exact reason but I remember it made sense when I read it and have used gloves since then. I think it was something about the acid soaking through your skin and staying in your system so it adds up every time you handle it and can cause problems.
