If it is not too duplicative, I would like to add here, *I* would up in a
hospital with a doctor picking at my eye.  I got a bit of metal in it
while working on my exhaust system and by the next morning, it had formed
a "rust ring" I could see from the inside.  

First. glasses (regular or protective) are not enough.  You need full
goggles that seal to your face.  My nemesis came in from the side as I was
wiggling the manifold off. 

Second, if something does get in anyhow, get to the emergency room *that
day*.  Don't wait and you will save yourself much pain.
