"I'm not a chemist nor am I a physician, but I think
the health risks of PCBs have been greatly overblown.
You should not take a bath in PCB oil nor should you
drink it. If you handle it with the same respect you
extend to gasoline, drain opener, bleach, bug spray,
ammonia, and the dozens of other truly dangerous
chemicals in your household, you should be safe
enough."

	That is exactly the same advice a "real" physician wrote to a Ham Radio
magazine.  He added that, if you get any one your hands, wipe it off
ASAP and wash the hands and you'll be fine.  Not being an expert, I
can't say whether this is correct or not, but it was sure used in
industry for many years without reports of problems from the
manufacturing plants.
