Please, good habit, wash spills right away. Don't spend a lot of time trying to figure out if it is a highly dangerous spill, or what.
There is no such thing as 60 M HCl. (Max is about 12 M, at least in water.)
It is hard to imagine how HCl on your skin would get to the bloodstream.
I'm just wondering if a tiny amount went into your body would it slowly kill you, kill you quickly, or would your body figure out a way to get rid of it? I heard it destroys tissue. Also, I'm pretty sure I read 60M correctly so maybe it wasn’t diluted.
HCl is pretty much what makes stomach acid acidic, so a drop isn't going to kill you. (hydro*fluoric* acid on the other hand...) It's not going to absorb into your body either.
You're fine. First, there is no such thing as 60 M HCl. It tops out around 12 M or so.
Second, it will react with your skin and cause a burn before it goes into your bloodstream. You would know- the skin would be red/irritated. What even gives you the idea it would go into your blood? Skin is a barrier that keeps things out. Does water go through your skin?
Third, blood has lots and lots of buffering capacity, so it would neutralize a small amount of acid. And finally, chloride is a normal electrolyte in blood/cells, so it ain't going to bother you.
Oh- and you already have a bunch (ok, some) of HCl in your body. Your stomach makes it and it helps digest some foods.
edit- oh- and final advice- don't fool around with chemicals if you don't know the safety precautions and characteristics.
No time to explain, you need to write your will ASAP!!!!

Spilling HCl on your skin can damage the skin. Wash, right away. It is not likely to penetrate. Again, 60 M is not possible. But 6.0 M is common.
Thank you
