Hmm how hot is it? I once had my head washed (when I was about 8..) in kerosine to cure a lice problem and boy did that burn (cured the problem though).. Probably why I love to eat the HOT and SPICY indian foods.

Not sure about those dr gloves there shaggs, they make me really sweat in a wierd way through my hands... Not sure if I could handle that all day..

Crucifico, that sounds like a good preventative. It makes sense... I used to have a really bad acne problem when I was younger in highschool and I moisturised every day to help keep the dirt and grime off.

Lol I like that last bit aye. The paint around the handles is starting to become removed and exposing the metal...
