On July 4th we bled the brakes on my buddy's -4 and had difficulty getting pedal. We were using Royco 782 synthetic fluid. The following day he had disconnected and re-routed the plastic brake lines and got a drop or three on his right forearm which was already scratched from sharp tie-wrap ends and so on. By the next day he had a bad rash on that arm and in two days pustules and swelling had started. Then he read the label wherein you're warned to not get any on skin because of the contents and it could lead to dermatitus.(sp)
The swelling got so bad and painful that he went to the emergency room two days ago and was really getting sleep deprived. He developed a staph infection in the flesh on that arm and was admitted to the hospital today. He is under observation because this could get serious.
Neither of us had any idea that this fluid can be so dangerous. If you're using it, wear gloves, be very careful and wash any off immediately.
