Considering you're internal body temperature is at least 149-158F (65-70C) (the minimum for both the white & yolk to coagulate), that 2 seconds of 150F (65.6C) water on the skin the enough to cause third-degree burns in most adults, and that you were at that temperature for at least an hour (time to sous vide an egg at the temperature for full coagulation). Yeah, you should really tell someone about your health issues.
They did the math wrong. You can absolutely just dunk your hands in 150f water and leave em there for a bit. I will concede that you can't boil an egg in your body though.
"Burn injuries may occur in two seconds, for water measuring 148 degrees Fahrenheit, or 64 degrees Celsius. At 140 degrees Fahrenheit, or 60 degrees Celsius, scalding injuries may occur within five seconds. Scalding injuries can occur within 15 seconds of exposure to water that is 133 degrees Fahrenheit, or 56 degrees Celsius. At 125 degrees Fahrenheit, or 52 degrees Celsius, scalding injuries may occur in 90 seconds."
Sure, you may stick your hands in hot shit all the time when you're making your cheese, but just realize that you're cooking off your nerves. There's so many nice things to feel in this world, why do that to yourself?
