MEK is nasty stuff, I used that in my job in the aircraft industry and consider that was responsible for my COPD. No breathing apparatus in those days.
I'm sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with M.E.K. Did you manage to consult with a lawyer and make an industrial injury claim before the statutes of limitations ran out?
Thanks for your sympathies, but this happened when I was serving with the UK military and various civilian contract firms, so proving it would be very difficult indeed. Added to that there were other gruesome chemicals such as LPS4 and Skydrol... shit happens eh?
When I was in the Navy running network and power cables through an old underground WW2 era building, we were drilling through Asbestos and only set out a few cones wearing N95 masks and some goggles, your helper had a HEPA vacuum trying to suck up all the dust.

You must be one of the older Pedes around here.
I, also grew up working with dangerous chemicals and substances when PPE wasn't even in anyone vocabulary.
Nothing like being able to 'taste' some nasty chemicals right after they got all over your hands.
Yes Fren, I am in my mid 70's
