You do realize that lye is really just concentrated alkali don't you.
It's the base ingredient in many soaps and cleaning agents like oven cleaner and drain cleaner.
Mixed properly it is no more dangerous then very strong soap. Something in the order of car was detergent.
The greater danger is chemical burns while handling it, unmixed or during mixing.
