Every chemistry student's rite of passage—discovering that concentrated potassium hydroxide (KOH) doesn't care about your skin's pH preferences! When this super-alkaline substance touches your skin, it creates a slippery, soapy feeling as it literally dissolves your lipid membranes. That burning sensation? That's just your cells being chemically transformed into soap through saponification. Chemistry lab veterans watch first-timers with knowing smiles, ready with the cold water bottle for the inevitable "OH NO" moment. The chemical burn baptism that turns students into proper chemists!
