a drop of something on your glove that you don't even notice and then later that week all your hair starts falling out

Anyone who doubts this can happen should read about Karen Wetterhahn [1], who was killed in 1996 by a couple of drops of dimethylmercury that went through her glove. Another nasty chemical to avoid.
