      Chlorine Triflouride is horrible, nasty, toxic stuff and is the most flammable chemical. It burns even the most un-burnable things like asbestos and glass. It doesn’t need a flame or any other ignition to make it explode: it just does spontaneously! If it touches your skin it’ll make both hydrochloric and hydroflouric acid which themselves are horrible, skin-melting things.

      You REALLY don’t want to play with chlorine triflouride 😈
