Skydrol, a hydrualic fluid, is a mixture of the chemicals outlined
below. Applied to human flesh, it casues no harm save the memory of
one's integument ablaze in Hell. It doesn't act quickly - takes maybe
10 or 15 minutes for a burning sensation to be noticed. By then it's
too late to wash it off; the unfortunate victim is on an E-ticket ride
to the bottom of the ninth circle.

Habaneros run about 100,000 to 300,000 Scoville units. I've
experienced both Habaneros as food and Skydrol as skin lotion;
Habaneros are trivial in comparison. I'd put Skydrol at at least
1,000,000 Scoville units. Your mileage may vary.

From the MSDS for Skydrol 500B4:
tributyl phosphate, 19.8%
dibutyl phenyl phosphate, [no concentration given]
butyl diphenyl phosphate, [no concentration given]
epoxy modified alkyl ester, [trade secret compound, no concentration
given]

What's in there that acts as a vanilloid receptor agonist? What would
be an effective topical application to neutralize Skydrol's effect on
vanilloid receptors? Old wive's (well, aircraft mechanics, really)
tales indicate milk or castor oil. The only method I know to work for
sure is soap, water, and an hour-long chat with Lucifer.


They aren't kidding. Its HELL. I saw a guy get a drop or so of it in his mouth...
