[Histonet] Formalin on skin

From:"Gudrun Lang"

Hi,
Today a labassistent asked me, what would happen to her skin, if formalin
swallowed over her arm.
I said, the formalin would harden the skin, but only on the surface. She
should wash the arm with plenty of water, and there will reamain no negative
reaction. It would not be dangerous for her health. 

Do you agree with me? Is there a cancer-risk after short contact with
formalin?

Greetings
