Blech, I've heard stories in my industrial automation days of people being clipped by invisible high pressure steam leaks. No frickin thank you, regular stovetop steam jacks me up frequently enough.

Well, now this is on my list of invisible things that scare me:

  • Radiation
  • Methanol fires
  • Supercritical steam jets

It seems you need to learn more about prions.

  • Predators with cloaking devices

Not quite invisible but you could also splash and wade into a pool of strong acid thinking it was water, during what first seemed like a somewhat routine FUBAR maintenance situation...filling your boots etc.

At paper mills the fear is caustic pools filled with bases.

The weird man-lifts used to get a side eye from me

Definitely dangerous, but I'm less scared of that one. I've got detectors for that, and that's more of a "go peacefully in your sleep" kind of danger.

The regular ones will kill you as well. Boiling water on a stove is nothing compared to steam under pressure.
