Nice looking bottle. Good ol' formaldehyde. When I was in high school waaayy back when, one night, a 5 gal can of formaldehyde in the chemistry storage closet, rusted out and leaked the entire contents. The closet had a tile floor, but the classroom had carpet, which wicked up every drop. There wasn't getting every bit out, and they weren't gonna tear out the carpet, so it made for a miserable year of burning eyes and nose for everybody. My teacher was a former captain in the Marines. His advice was "Get tough." Incidently, he was my favorite teacher. Can you imagine the whineyasses and lawsuits a'flying if something like that happened today?

Ours left the stuff in bags of dead cats in my classroom, my chair one seat away, for a couple weeks.... They wouldn't do anything, or let me move, even though I was so sick of the scent and seeing plastic-wrapped cats every second hour.

Dead cats?! What sort of school were you going to?! We just had frogs, they smelled bad enough. Dead cats seems like it would traumatize a few students.

Anatomy. But I was in Health. My school is one of the best Public Schools in Michigan, or that's what they say and backup with news articles and whatnot. They're really quite blind to what goes on in school though.... Sure it's better than most I've been to/learned about, but it isn't acceptable for a supposedly "safe, happy, healthy educational atmosphere." Not just for me, but for others I've learned from that corroborates what would seem an outrageous claim. Unlike them, as a Bear I can easily be alone and avoid most people-related issues. Humans are social creatures.
