Jeez, I've always just viewed burns as an occupational hazards and I expect them to occur infrequently. I've had brief exposures to bromine, conc.
nitric and sulfuric acids, acetyl chloride, et. al.. They are just nuisances. As long as it isn't eye exposure, oleum or hydrofluoric acid, pfft. I
know this sounds terrible, but I don't have any scars after a lifetime. I was utterly amazed that 98 per cent sulfuric on my hand felt mainly slippery
and warm. No burn.

Other nasties that burn are 30% hydrogen peroxide and phenol. Particularly with phenol the burn is not immediately apparent which can lead to it being
un-noticed for a while.

Actually my worst burn feeling was from masonry, spraying fresh mortar in the eye starts burning like hell. Always thought oh I probably wouldn't feel
if a base ends up in my eyes but yeah once it got inside I knew it.
Other than that I was careful.. ammonia gas whiffs were also unpleasant.

I know exactly what you mean by 'mortar in the eye'.
I prefer the ammonia gas 'smell' to the smell of c. H2SO4.
