The fact that a video like this even has to be made is so sad, thank you though

[@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1]

You're right, but it is better to be prepared

[@atharvsharma_69]

You are very helpful

[@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1]

thanks!

[@katelynfletcher-mcphee5124]

Thank you. What would you recommend to put on the burn to soothe the pain? Any ointments or lotions or sprays or something?

[@randomhuman1042]

I don’t know but in an acid attack, NEVER put cream on them, pour water on them and get them to hospital

[@watchingyou1375]

Hey I burned my finger tips with gold testing acid and im getting cracks what do I do ?

[@marvincruz2644]

What did you do

[@bleb87]

So.... multiple acid have violent exothermic reactions with water.

[@drewdemic558]

i sat on some by accident. it dosent hurt that much but it keeps secreting this pus of some sort. any idea on how to make it stop?

[@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1]

Please see a doctor

[@rhill1830]

Water and flush

[@italoc1792]

Can neutralize it with a base ?

[@steveortega123]

water is a base

[@toothless2690]

So best would be to jump in the pool? I mean if one was around

[@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1]

Best is to hose down with copious amounts of clean running water

[@kalvinlabuik3366]

some acid reacts with water use baking soda or sugar will neutralize the acid and water to cool clod water again what she was saying lots of cold water and yes shower them basically with water

[@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1]

Copious amounts of water is key

[@KINGSOMALIA]

...What are you talking about, basic chemistry states that alot of water will dilute the acid and reduce the damage done.

[@muhdfaizal8595]

What if the acid is reactive to water ?

[@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1]

Look at the cosh guidance and any recommendations on a bottle.

[@gyalisboss5664]
