All concentrated industrial acids (HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, etc.) are extremely dangerous and can cause extreme injury. But I guess the MOST dangerous would be hydrofluoric acid (HF). The reason is that HF can penetrate the skin and get into your blood, where the F- reacts irreversibly with your plasma calcium to form CaF2 (which is insoluble) This quickly makes you hypocalcemic. This leads to muscle spasms, tetany, and eventually cardiac arrest. I think an HF burn on your body that is as big as your palm print could kill you, or something like that. Other acids can give you pretty serious burns, but aren't as likely to kill you.

Hydrochloric acid is typically considered more dangerous than carbonic acid. Hydrochloric acid is a strong mineral acid that can cause severe burns upon contact with skin or eyes, and inhalation can be harmful to the respiratory system. On the other hand, carbonic acid is a weak acid found in carbonated beverages and is not as corrosive or harmful to health.
What has sulfuric acid in it?
