Avgas allergic reaction...

Few days ago I spilled some Avgas over me.
In all my wisdom I leaned against the fueldrain of an R44,
soaking my pants. (While giving a pax-briefing... hpmf).

Sitting in the middle of a large apron away from base, I decided to fly.
Felt a light burning feeling and afterwards, my skin turned red.
Has been like this for some days, only slowly it goes away.

That made me think, how bad/toxic is this stuff actually?
I know about the lead, should I be worried?

FTF
