I'm an undergrad biochem major and although I've heard a bit about how dangerous HF is from my O-Chem I professor (Dr. Donald Burton, who, I'm told, happens to be a world-wide expert in fluorine compounds) I've never heard a clear description of <i>why</i> it's so awful. Now I know! Thanks. Wow, great post.
