I once built a simple power supply using three 1000uF electrolytic capacitors. When I turned it on, I noticed a bubble building up on one of the caps. It exploded and sent a drop of electrolyte towards my eyes. Fortunately, it did not blind me. I gave up on building power supplies since that time.
It felt like I was shot with a drop of liquid. I cleaned off the electrolyte immediately. Fortunately, there was no serious injury and no damage to the skin.
