The human body is an OH&S nightmare

So like, I remember when I was in high school chemistry and my chem teacher... Mrs... uh. Mrs. Something or other, was incredibly insistent on the "first rule of chemistry safety". Always add acid to water, not water to acid. Something something something exothermic, something something concentrated acid, blah blah your eyes will melt out of your head. Cool cool cool I was absolutely not paying attention but here I am 20+ years later and I remember that one. So, I guess Mrs. Something or other, you win. Good job. I hope you got paid enough to deal with teenage me. Anyway, every time you drink water you're breaking the god damn rules. Nature is not at all OH&S compliant and I would like to escalate this to the management team.
Because like, I've read enough biology and medicine edutainment content to have seen the little picture of the basic structure of a gland, where there's a little ring of cells pooping out chemicals to make hormones and other hilarious molecules. Do you think those little guys are in more of a red rover formation or is it like human cellular centipede? I hope it's the first one. Nobody should be in a centipede. Except another centipede, I guess. But there's little gland rings whose sole purpose in life is to produce stomach acid, which will then immediately dissolve them. This is absolutely unsafe work practices and I'm still waiting for the management team.
Anyway, it's been a big day. Have those managers call me.
