Print shop where the inks and solvents were in the back. Exxon Oil Refinery for a time. [Bayway, Elizabeth NJ] But I was the dude behind the computer both times. I was custodian as a teenager for my church - 7 days a week from age 13-18. But closest thing to benzene was the stuff I used to clean the mirrors with. I think that's just foamy kerosene and puts holes in your brain. I didn't use it much though 'cause I read the back of the can: just for occasional extra stained glass polishing. But mostly the garbage kid. I avoid clothes that use use the black that's made from crude oil. I can't remember what it is, but some of the fancy colors and some of the darker blacks use it. Nasty itching from it. Men's black socks used to use it - maybe they still do. Anyway, I wouldn't have lasted a week working with benzene.
