Thats a different problem splashes getting in your eyes when

No, it's *very* dangerous. I would not suggest using NaOH pellets to
anyone who had not been shown how dissolve it properly in a lab.

It is not that dangerous. Except to eyes and clothing. Any on your skin
burns like hell and you will definitely be washing it off before you go
any further.

I'd rather handle caustic than petrol..
