Yep, the anecdote of methyl iodide leaching through nitrex gloves and skin to interrupt DNA sequencing by methylating your DNA was a chilling image that has stayed with me and reminded me how we are simply giant walking reaction beakers and can be pretty vulnerable to the whims of a tiny nm-scale molecule. Another favourite was how cis-platin would crosslink DNA to prevent replication of cancer cells in your body.
