Soap Making, Accidents

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Deborah at Antiquity Oaks in Illinois failed to wear her safety goggles while making soap. In this harrowing post, Deborah describes what happened and leaves us with this plea:

“If you’re a soaper or if you ever want to make soap in the future, PLEASE wear eye protection! I feel unbelievably stupid. As the ER doctor said, no one expects to get in a car accident, but we wear our seat belt just in case. Like I tell my children, they’re called “accidents” because we don’t do them on purpose!”

      What a wake-up call for us all. I’m really near-sighted and find myself leaning into too many tasks to see them better, which becomes all the more dangerous if I’m not wearing the damned — but highly important — goggles!
