Question:
Answers:
Chemical burns: First aid
If a chemical burns the skin, follow these steps:
Remove the cause of the burn by flushing the chemicals off the skin surface with cool, running water for 15 minutes or more. If the burning chemical is a powder-like substance such as lime, brush it off the skin before flushing.
Remove clothing or jewelry that has been contaminated by the chemical.
Wrap the burned area loosely with a dry, sterile dressing or a clean cloth.
Minor chemical burns usually heal without further treatment.
Seek emergency medical assistance if:
The victim has signs of shock, such as fainting, pale complexion or breathing in a notably shallow manner.
The chemical burn penetrated through the first layer of skin, and the resulting second-degree burn covers an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
The chemical burn occurred on the eye, hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or over a major joint.
If you're unsure whether a substance is toxic, call the poison control center at (800) 222-1222. If you seek emergency assistance, bring the chemical container or a complete description of the substance with you for identification.
Other Answers:
There are several Greased lightning products. Go to their webpage ( http://www.greased-lightning.com/products/Default.aspx ) and look at the material safety data sheets for their products. These will give you first aid information. The MSDS that i looked at told you to flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and to contact a doctor if irritation persists.
See a dermatologist right away since these burns are severe they could get infected and your reaction to that product could also be an allergic reaction. Go right away
