  Oh I see, but a few point to keep in mind... if that guy has a cut on his finger, or even a crack... whoooooole different ending. You're talking about someone prepared, choosing a finger to dip, then as the bit says "promptly washing off". That is not really analogous to having your face in some way sprayed/daubed/covered with it. Your face has large pores, plus your nose, mouth, and eyes are there. I doubt the choice of the face was accidental. Maybe he could have washed it off, but I doubt it.

    I certainly wouldn't want to test this myself. Also I agree about the face / nose / mouth / eyes. But the question raised here was about the attacker (not the attacked) being fine after handling the poison. By the way, one of the attackers was actually not fine: http://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news.php?id=85385 http://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news.php?id=85385
