For about half a year I had a brownish stain about the size of a 50p piece on the lab coat I wore for chemistry lab back in <school that doesn't have an equivalent in the UK system>. The stained fabric became more and more brittle until it was replaced by a hole after my mum had washed the coat. No idea what it was but I'm glad I didn't get it onto my clothes.
Or onto your skin... there's one specific reagent (used for testing the presence of animo acids, funnily enough) that reacts rapidly with human flesh to leave a nice, big, bright, pink stain. The only ways to rid yourself of such a mark are tattoos, flaying your skin off or waiting 8-9 weeks for your epithelial cells to shed - one of my lab partners spilled it all over his left hand. :)
