Lye Safety (was: Re: HERB - Jasmine's one bar soap recipes)

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but just a word. VINEGAR. 
Distilled white vinegar. Keep it nearby to help neutralize the lye if need 
be. It certainly won't help with accidental ingestion, but it may help with 
burn prevention, or at least help with the severity.
