Is refrigerant bad to touch?
I found this drinking fountain that nobody wanted, and saw a radiator inside that I wanted to use in a watercooling setup. I didn't notice a line of thin copper pipe and a roundish unit that looked like the one on top of my refrigerator. I got inside of the fountain, but noticed a hissing noise. It was coming from a copper pipe. I thought this was bad, so I got some tape and covered up the copper pipe. Then I hit something else, and some clear liquid that I do not think was water squirted out. I got some on me. Is this bad?

Not really. Just wash your skin off where it came in contact and you'll be fine. Just don't ingest it or get it in your eyes.

like said above, skin contact wash thoroughly... eye contact you might want to seek a physician. One thing is don't inhale it, very bad for you (especially if it's the old stuff-freon-)

Actually, let me drop in on this.
You do not want to come in contact with a pressurized liquid. Do not put your finger over a leak, you can cause an embolism, or an infusion of refrigerant through your skin into your blood stream. This can kill you. Past that, don't breathe it, don't get it in your eyes. |

Still a bit confused because you said liquid got on you right?
__________________If it was refrigeration gas it wouldnt be liquid once it escaped because it would boil into a gas without pressure...and if it was leaking and blowing on you it would have been cold and the area of puncture frosty...
