Quickly. Especially antifreeze. It’s readily absorbed through the skin. A friend of mine worked on his car and got antifreeze all over his short. He kept working on the car without removing the shirt and by the next morning his kidneys were failing. Spent weeks in the hospital. Brake fluid and gasoline aren’t good for you either but, paradoxically, it’s the antifreeze that is the most deadly when in contact with skin.

Might just keep some pairs of Nitrile gloves in my pocket at all times going forward.
