I had a bottle of this stuff I recently hazmatted. Someone gave it to me from the 80's. They used to sell solvents to the electronics industry...then the CFC/Ozone regulations caused them to require to shut down. He has stories about mixing TCE and Freon...55 gallon drums of it. As far as I know he doesn't have Parkinsons but that doesn't mean anything.

Apparently, this stuff was great for cleaning electronics PCBs but clearly it is super bad for you. I am not sure how you could slightly smell it and not realize it...has a very strong "I cause cancer" smell to it.
