MEK is not MEKP... and MEK is not known to be toxic to the liver. Acetone is not as "bad" (whatever that means) as MEK... and acetone is present in the human body, and disposed by it, during normal metabolic processes.
Respect chemicals; but running in a panic for the hazmat suit, at the mention of the word "chemical" isn't necessary.
On the other hand... worrying about being bored to death, by studying too much chemistry... doesn't seem to be much of a problem.
