Hmmm..... sounds a little warm

I screwed up the other day (true story.) I was doing some minor spot welding at work. I was just going to tack in a few places and close my eyes before striking the arc as opposed to wearing a hood. I was smart enough to wear safety glasses, but the few spot welds became more and more and it was a bigger job than I had anticipated. An hour later, I noticed my face was red except where the safety glasses were atr on my face (though they are clear, they do have some reflective properties of UV and intense light.) I looked like a racoon for about three days and now my face is peeling.
