Lye is sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Solid lye is caustic (corrosive) and very dangerous. Avoid inhalation of dust, contact with skin, eyes, and mucus membranes. Solutions of NaOH are also corrosive (depending on concentration) - avoid contact with skin and eyes. Always wear gloves and goggles when handling this chemical. Consult an MSDS before use (http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/s4034.htm)
