The slippery feeling of PBW always creeps me out because I read somewhere it was dissolving the fat in your skin. I have no idea if it is true or not, but even if it isn't true I can't get the image out of my mind. On the bright side, whenever I'm using PBW I usually have a bucket of Starsan close by, so if I get any on my hands, I can dip them into the Starsan and the slickness goes away immediately because it is neutralized by the acid.
