Ah, but the chemicals handled there would be more dangerous, and potentially a lot more corrosive etc because by reguklation in secondary school we can only use diluted acid with 9 parts water to 1 part acid, so the worst we have is an irritant, or maybe slightly corrosive.
It was probably just because of the sting from the cut that made it real bad, cos otherwise the acid at worst makes you itch a little, or sore maybe.
