"I just got acid on me help

[theoak01]

my mom left some chems out from her work and i had to move her stuff inside because the rain and now my leg is burning like hell,i washed it and put after burn on it,anything else i can do

 

[HappyScrappy]

what type of acid?
I think sodium bicarbinate neutralizes it (baking soda). does vinegar - I forget?

I know that hydrochloric and esp sulfuric acid are much worse once you add the water.

 

[theoak01]

its for janitorial work,im not sure what kind,i believe she uses it in toliets

 

[smallmovesal]

we used hydrochloric for printmaking and they said to strip off all acid doused clothes and jump in the shower if that happened....

 

[theoak01]

it has no actually burned through the skin a bit,im bleeding a bit,god dam mother

 

[theoak01]

i washed it very good but now its making me bleed,and my mom is working and wont be home for a few hours

 

[growin']

Seriously bro, call your mom. She works with the shit, she should know how to neutralize it. Are you sure it's acidic and not a strong base?

 

[Phemomena]

find out what it is and call poision control board

 

[theoak01]

im not sure what it came off of and i cant get ahold of my mom,i jsut brought in a toilet bowl cleaner thing along with piece of a shop vac,im pretty sure it is acid czu it burnt through my skin

 

[smallmovesal]

bleach?

 

[Phemomena]

if it was a toilet cleanser it could have been a base... (they can do the same thing...)

 

[theoak01]

this is much more painful then bleech the sec it touched me my leg turned red and i felt it eating at ym skin

 

[Phemomena]

i'd call the poison control if you cant reach your mum... they might have an easy way to tell which is whichh

 

[theoak01]

i just gave them a call all she said was put a cold compress on it until my mom got home and could determine what it is

thanx for the help guys

 

[YellowD]

I thought we was talking good ole LSD, then you'd really be fucked.

 

[Phemomena]

Call the goddamn poison control, does it say anywhere on the container to consult your favorite chat room pals???? CALL NOW doofus if you are bleeding....

LMAO

i was just picturing him sitting at the computer... bleading and smoking and shit, hitting refresh... refresh...

sorry... i'm done now

 

[bigmag]

If it was for cleaning toilets it's probably a basic solution....I can't tell you what to put on it untill I know what it is ( I know you said you don't know) untill you find out what it is just keep rinsing it off with cold water. leave it under the water for about 5-10 min. to make sure you get all of whatever it is out of your skin.

The best thing to do with an acid burn is to amputate the offending appendage with either a scimitar or a kukri. Honestly, I don't know if the instrument makes the difference, but those two will make the experience a whole lot more bearable, believe you me.

 

[smallmovesal]

damn, you just took me back with this post.

*sigh* good times

 

[saint808]

if it's a base solution poor some soda on it.
