The problem with methylene chloride AKA dichloromethane is that it's quickly absorbed through the skin, as well as getting in via lungs. It's not just a carcinogen, either. After using it to prepare some surfaces for painting a few evenings over a week or so, my platelet count got so low my doctor thought I was a long-term alcoholic, and warned me to watch for spontaneous bruising and other signs of uncontrolled bleeding.
I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but that particular solvent is something to keep out of your body.
