I wanted to add to a comment on the original posting.

The comment regarded the use of Naval Jelly as a rust remover.
Naval Jelly contains "...oxalic acid (about as dangerous as lemon juice)."

I think what the writer meant was its acidic danger with respect to skin
and external parts of the body.  He may well be right on that one.

HOWEVER, oxalic acid is a poison.  Taken internally, it can be fatal.
An old memory from my dim past tells me that rhubarb leaves are poisonous
because of a high oxalic acid content.

Just be aware of what dangerous means is all I'm saying here.
