there's nothing to worry about dude. we're just playing around. just wash your hands and you'll be fine. seriously. i basically dipped my hands in thermal paste in the past and i'm fine. don't worry about it and goodnight :beer:
 
Thanks that makes me feel better, I was getting ready to go to the ER lol, I was freaking out since I know alot about computers, just not using thermal grease, etc... But thanks for all the help!
 
Don't get it all over you, or else it will suck the heat out of your body. Then if you go outside and get hit by a cool breeze, your dead in seconds from hypothermia.

OMG!


OMGBBQ!

:shocked:

:barf;

WTF was that?

Pic poster says it's a brown recluse bite. That picture is pretty typical of what happens, since the venom basically causes your flesh to necrotize around the area you were bitten. ::shudder::

Nasty.

I knew brown recluses were bad (having lived in LV for 8 years, you hear things) but that's just over the top.

That is NOTHING! there are pics of much worse damage done by the brown recluse :shocked:
 
Everyone keeps telling me different things back and forth can I get a straight answer?

Is thermal paste deadly? I touched a corner of it thinking there was a film there as dircted on the plastic cover, come to find out that it's the acuall grease! Everyone keeps telling me to just wash my hands, I did it 10 seconds after I touched it, others are telling me I need to see medical attention which is right thanks!

This is the HSF I touched it from: http://www.speezeusa.com/5f353b1l3.asp

I need answers too, I got some thermal paste on me and got sick the next day... I dont know if it is a coincidence or if it was the thermal paste...

I used to get my hands covered in the stuff using the credit card method, I died after doing this a few times. I'm okay now though!
 
Just wash your hands after using it.

I broke a thermometer when I was kid and my dad caught me playing with the ball of mercury 😱 (that was 45 years ago and I am still here).
