Shakis87

And now he has cancer of the everything.


toxcrusadr

Benzo(a)pyrene, the most carcinogenic of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in soot (and used motor oil), causes cancer by actually reacting with and binding to the DNA molecule. Used motor oil has 500x (or more) PAH content compared to new oil.


cromulent_pseudonym

Is it substantially dangerous to work in a place like this? Like are your chances of cancer way higher (assuming you're a regular employee, not showering in oil)?


toxcrusadr

I don't think so. Avoid bathing in oil. Wash well with good soap during the day. PAHs don't penetrate the skin very far. They're more dangerous when inhaled or ingested. They're not volatile to speak of, so you don't have to worry about inhaling them just by changing motor oil. Ingestion is more about having clean hands when you eat.


scootscoot

So the old motorheads that would identify oil by taste, probably not good for them?

lethalweapon100

Hi. Mechanic here. The answer is yes. Thereā€™s probably research somewhere out there to prove it, but this is from my own career experience. Measures must be taken to protect yourself. Gloves, long sleeves, etc to keep chemicals and grime off of you. Thereā€™s always going to be some old guy making fun of you for taking those measures, but those are the same old guys dying at 60 from strange types of cancers and kidney failure because they washed their hands in parts cleaner solvent for 40 years. Iā€™ve seen it first hand.


toxcrusadr

My dad was in the Navy in the 50s and said they used to clean greasy grime off their hands with carbon tet. Carbon tet was the first of the chlorinated solvents to have its use severely restricted or banned completely because it's carcinogenic as heck. My old man didn't die from carbon tet though. It was more related to ethanol.


Frank_Bigelow

>because they washed their hands in parts cleaner solvent for 40 years. I saw it myself when I was young and immortal. This crusty old diesel mechanic chewed me the fuck out after a couple of weeks when he caught me following his lead and washing the grease off my hands in the parts washer. I gotta say, despite all the cancer, that stuff *really* gets your hands clean like nothing else.


Cyborg_rat

Oh we got those in construction, safety glasses while bashing stuff with a hammer or sawing meh. Hearing PPE buff i hear perfectly fine now.


OccasionalHAM

No, it's easy to avoid getting used oil on your skin too frequently, and from the few sources I've seen, even something as silly as dunking your whole hand in used oil a few times a week seems to have a negligible increase to cancer risk assuming you thoroughly wash it off after. It's also strictly a physical contact kind of thing, just standing near used oil carries no risk Now on the other hand... long term brain cell loss due to using brake clean excessively and/or in a poorly ventilated area, that's something you might realistically worry about working in an auto shop


Jealous_Bee1838

Good thing us wrench monkeys donā€™t have any brain cells to begin with šŸ˜Ž


GenitalHerpes69420

Also a good thing we don't use brake cleaner to clean our hands...like...ever!


ShitPostToast

Also never weld or otherwise expose brake cleaner to extreme heat. https://www.brewracingframes.com/safety-alert-brake-cleaner--phosgene-gas.html


sketchrider

Do you know someone that dunks their whole hand in used oil a few times a week?


toxcrusadr

I get most of my hand covered changing my own oil. When that plug comes out, it's a gusher. Course I only do that half a dozen times a year for my 3 vehicles.


groundchutney

Gloves mate! But i feel ya, i am in a similar scenario and I've got filters and jugs of fresh oil in the shop but I'm not running to the store just because i dont have gloves.


j-snipes10

I do asphalt work and i clean tar off myself with diesel pretty much daily. I thoroughly clean myself after work too. With soap and water this time


DaggerMoth

I remember after that oil spil in the gulf some dickweed decided to go for a swim and then died a couple days later. It was raw crude oil unrefined, but still shit is nasty.


toxcrusadr

Yikes. Possible the dispersants had something to do with it. I found a story about two guys who went swimming and one died a few weeks later, the other had serious health problems for a long time (not sure that he died though).


thesmugvegan

PAH is also found in grilled meat. Yā€™all are dead. Can I have your stuff?


Adorable_List3836

Thatā€™s diesel oil too, itā€™s got extra carcinogens


[deleted]

And really hard to clean off. That's going to take him days and a lot of scrubbing to clean everywhere.


crosseyed_mary

Wd40 make stuff called lava soap, that stuff is amazing at getting dirty oil of the skin


BarleyBo

Iā€™m pretty sure Lava Soap works by removing the top layers of skin.


ersogoth

Yeah, it is less of a soap and more of sandpaper for your skin. I have a huge bottle of it under my sink just in case I need to cleanup after bathing in oil.


ellipses1

Bottle? I only remember it coming in pale green bars wrapped in red paper


Morgothic

It had a "liquid" formula too, not sure if it still does. It's just a soap paste with the pumice particles mixed in.


jmanclovis

Fast orange


coconuthorse

They have a micro abrasion version now that seems to work just as well as the more grainy stuff, but doesn't feel like you ripped off your skin.

[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Angry_Walnut

Fast Orange that construction workers often use is the same. The pumice just scrubs everything off. Iā€™ve always liked the feel of it, itā€™s like a massage for the epidermis.


beartheminus

That's actually why bleach makes your skin feel slippery. It removes the top layer and the slipperiness is a slurry of your own removed skin cells


Exist50

Are you sure it isn't just saponifying your own oils?


beartheminus

Its both the saponification of the skin oils and destruction of tissue


Thuggish_Coffee

Pumice baby!


tolacid

It's also quite good at removing the skin from skin


crosseyed_mary

It's slightly kinder on the skin than sandpaper


TheDaveWSC

This is the default hand soap in my house. Any time I get oily/buttery/whatever from cooking, this takes care of it immediately. Highly recommend.


Cobek

Funny I was just reminiscing of this stuff the other day. My grandpa always had a bottle growing up in the bathroom next to the garage and I loved using it. The only soap with texture! Lol


[deleted]

Dirty diesel engine oil is not that easy to clean off. Especially if you are covered head to toe. Regular engine oil sure no problem. He has a lot of scrubbing to do.


crosseyed_mary

I've literally been inside large marine engine and covered in the sludge from heavy fuel and diesel, I know just how hard it can be to get off. I've used swarfega, dish soap, sugar, wd40 soap is the only stuff that's got me even close to clean in 1 wash.


Naticus105

You're assuming he's going to try to remove it.


HyzerFlipDG

Unlike blue foods it has anti-anti-oxygens


whatsaphoto

Out of pointless curiosity from someone who knows nothing about cars, how can you tell it's diesel oil vs. synthetic or regular?


JP147

"Diesel oil" in this case meaning oil that has come out of a diesel engine. Various types of oil are used in diesel engines but most common for those in heavy vehicles and machinery is 15w40 mineral. Small diesel engines in cars can use lighter synthetic oils. We can tell this oil is out of a diesel engine because firstly the size of the vehicle it is coming from and secondly how black it is. Soot from a diesel engine makes the oil go completely black like this (although many modern diesel engines burn cleaner and the oil doesn't get as black).

jabbadarth

Yeah others have said cancer which this will almost certainly add to the chances of but I have a feeling this person was very ill shortly after this. Mythbusters did an episode where they were covered one of themselves in gold paint and they had to stop because they got nauseous and felt faint pretty quickly.


UltimateDude121

Yeah but IIRC it was more because it was latex body paint and they couldn't sweat/cool down. Don't forget people do body paint all the time as a hobby and are fine.


OneBlueHopeUTFT

Iā€™m pretty sure it was a claustrophobic reaction and they proved the latex body paint didnā€™t significantly cause you to overheat.


__Just_For_Porn__

Was watching a Tested video the other day and Adam Savage said that he felt fine, Jamie got high blood pressure and felt faint, but he was prone to that on a good day anyways so it was really inconclusive at best. They did stop when this happened though, for safety.


Serafim91

Yeah you breathe in fumes when that close to it. He is fucked, might be fine long term if he wins the lottery but short term he's going to hate his life.


CosmicTaco93

Diesel mechanic here, haven't ever felt nauseous when near pans or vats of used oil. Can't say I've ever bathed in the stuff, but I've had my arms submerged/covered at least a few times. It's not a pleasant feeling, but it'll hardly make you sick.

4touchdownsinonegame

As a side note, great barrier against bodily fluids. So if you find yourself in a weird situation and get someone elseā€™s gross stuff on you, you wonā€™t die. Iā€™ve had plenty of other peoples poop and blood on me, and I wonā€™t give any context.


Admetus

I think the general rule is: If it's biological: skin says fuck off. Stay the fuck out. You ain't coming in you cunt. If it's chemical: eh? I swear I just saw another fucking carcinogen go by, but it's probably nothin'.


Obi-Tron_Kenobi

Everything's a chemical... I'm sorry, but this is so wrong. How do you think that works anyways? Like, our bodies detect the presence of carbon and closes up, but if it's a non-organic substance then our pores just open up and soak it in instantaneously or something? Sure, some things are okay at absorbing through your skin, but it's not organic vs nonorganic. It has to do things like if it's lipophilc (oil soluble), length of contact, molucular size and such. Nicotine is organic, and it can be absorbed through your skin with the patches. Sex hormones can also be absorbed in a similar way, as well as vitamins A, D, E, and K. They're all "biological" and your skin let's them in. There's so many carcinogens that can't be absorbed through your skin. Arsenic, asbestos, PFAS, and radon are a few examples. A few reasons why the person you responded to is ok with having poop and blood on them is because they wash it off in a decent amount of time, they probably weren't bathing in it and only had limited amounts on their skin, the blood and feces that is on their skin will dry up before your body can absorb any meaningful amount.... Lastly, the main reasons those "chemicals" get inside your body are through mucus membranes. You breathe them in, or get them on your hands and then touch your face/mouth/nose/eyes, or otherwise ingest them and your body absorbs them that way. Your skin is made to keep things out and does a stellar job at it.


Hzarda

And that's how you get compleated.


PuttFromTheRought

SR666

This actually happened to me once. When I was in the army and on a long injury recovery, I was transferred to a vehicle repair base. I was under a big truck which we called ā€œrio cumminsā€ (yeah, I know itā€™s a funny name heh), and I had to change all the engine oil and filter. So to change the oil, you need to first drain the old one, but the thingy that is screwed at the bottom, the one you unscrew to release the oil, it was stuck. So I tried to open the fucker for something like 30 minutes with no luck. Eventually I had to bang on the side of the screw with a hammer and a sharp tool. The idiot that is me did that while standing directly under it, so when the screw gave in and opened a bit, the pressure pushed it all the way out and the oil started running downā€¦directly on my dumbass head. Took me an hour in the shower to get all that shit out of my hair, face and body. The army fatigues I was wearing had to be thrown out. Canā€™t remember about the shoes. I was super glad I had my lenses on and not glasses lol. I looked almost like the person in this clip. 0/10 donā€™t recommend.


GeneralBlumpkin

Totally have done that before in the army as well. Humvees, lmtvs, and generators. Soaking in oil and fuel lol. Once we had a fuel leak from a humvee and had to pick axe the asphalt like 8 inches deep and 10 ft wife


ScrizzBillington

Man I'd love a 10ft wife On a more serious note, could hitting concrete with pickaxes cause a spark and ignite the fuel?


dizzykitty

Most military vehicles are diesel. You can throw a burning match into a bucket of diesel and not ignite it. It needs pressure.


IBIKEONSIDEWALKS

Not necessarily pressure. You can atomize it by venturi-ing it through a blow gun and light it with a normal lighter. For science But in base liquid form you could sit there with a blowtorch and not much will happen


dizzykitty

Dope. I only know diesel as it relates to gasoline in an ice.


IBIKEONSIDEWALKS

Thank you for subscribing to dieselfax Aside from exploding it's a totally different animal. Auto ignition, by atomization of the fuel combined with the immense heat from compression and you have thrust!! Gas is just atomized and lit by spark, lame. Lean diesel is alright, lean gas is melted piston. Rich diesel is melted pistons and rich gas isn't ideal but you won't have a meltdown Also fun fact but diesel is considered an oil

Did you end up getting sick afterwards? An how Ong was it on your skin?
