Indeed. I had never heard of Arsine before so was grateful for your linked wiki article. When I read that, well, jaw-dropping is quite an
understatement. While I am sure everyone knew what they were doing the risk of "playing" with dangerous substances in a group should rule out this
kind of test.
An analogy might be letting a baby play with a closed pack of razor blades. The potential for disaster is there. Statistics...
Way back when I was in school, Chemistry used to be "my thing". Straight A's and the only subject I ever got an A in. I started the advanced course
in prep for Uni and then I did something so incredibly stupid it convinced me to drop out and leave school. To keep it short, in effect I poured
Sulphuric Acid over my hand. A simple mistake with a simple substance... Ouch!
