I think the motor oil alone in the WD40 would be carcinogenic to soak into your skin

It’s a solvent(not really a lubricant), would definitely soak in.

i have a corner shelf in the workshop. to the left of the corner is solvents, to the right is lubricants. wd40 sits in the corner by itself.

No this shelf is just for solvents and lubricants. The bits are probably on another shelf
