I removed some old double-A Panasonic batteries from an old device and the fluid leaked onto my skin. I noticed my skin was wet, and after about 20 seconds I smelled a strong ammonia-like scent. My hand started to feel tight and extremely dry so I washed them immediately. However, here I am a few hours later and my hand feels a bit swollen. Not noticeably swollen b/c others can't tell, but it feels swollen to me.
