You'll think that's a good idea until you get a heavy splash on you
and find your clothes hold it against your skin. You need something
impermeable protecting you.

There are recipies in the Files section on how to precharge with CuCl
by using several different things, one being these burn sticks you
toss in a fireplace or wood stove to burn out the gunk built up in the
chimney.
