Hmm… I used to handle all three of those solvents (with gloves & respirator) on a weekly basis back when I was a shipping clerk for a research plastics company 25+ years ago. Very effective solvents, but using (solvent resistant) gloves and a chemical grade respirator would be mandatory.
Some things are better to avoid using altogether.
