I hope you saw the doctor.
If the skin scars wrong it could screw up your range of motion. |

Quoted: Ended up with a some battery acid all over my left hand today. :-/ Thank god for baking soda. Ouch.... I'm not even going to explain this one, just figured some of you might get a laugh out of it... I feel your pain, literally. Once had a battery on a tractor blow up, got battery acid on my face around my eyes, not in them thanks to my glasses, and in my nose. That hurt... fullclip |

If you heat battery acid it will let off white fumes. They look neat if you light them with a match.

How in the world do you hurt yourself so much? Do me a favor. If I'm ever at the range and I don't notice you, please let me know so that I can get a safe distance away. [BD]
I'm accident prone, but I usually just get hurt badly once a year. It seems like it's a weekly thing for you. I hope you've got good insurance. |

OK, guys, gather round... As someone who works with dangerous chemicals on a daily basis, let me explain this to you.
Do NOT waste time trying to figure out if the chemical is acid or base (caustic). Get to running water, and rinse, rinse, rinse. After that, rinse some more. If someone gets acid (or whatever) in his eyes, he may have to be held down to rinse his eyes. The eyelids must be pryed open and the eyes rinsed well. Do not use forcefully squirting water from a nozzle, a gentle running water flow is fine. But rinse. Remove any contaminated clothing. I don't care if you are in the middle of downtown, strip it off. RINSE. Oh, and rinse some more. Now you can worry about medical help. If you wait, you risk more damage. Safety glasses at a minimum for many activities. If you KNOW you are to be working with dangerous liquids, goggles and/or face shield are indicated. Rubber apron, slicker suit, long rubber gloves, rubber boots may also be indicated, as the job requires. Do not even crack the cap on liquid chemicals until you have located a method of washing (eye wash, shower, garden hose, sink, gallon jug of water, something). No, I am not being alarmist, or overly dramatic. I mean it. Do it. OK, now you can go back to whatever you were doing before. |

I got battery acid on me once, when I was 16.
Carried it into the parts store sideways while going to get a replacement.. Duh. Leaked all over me before I realized what happened. Took off my shirt, got as much of it off of me as I could. It didn't do anything more than itch the whole way home. Immediately took a shower, no harm done. The shirt was history, though. Oh, I also blew up a battery once. Had the sense to run as soon as I saw flames. Didn't get anything on me that time. I do however have a permanent fear of jump-starting cars though. |

As often as you hurt yourself, have you considered moving into a protective bubble? |

When I saw the title of this thread on the home page, I knew - absolutely, positively, no question about it - that it would be a post from ComputerGuy.
Remember that bandwidth-wasting flap from a while back with all the posts about "Hey, I lit myself on fire" and crap like that? Am I the only one who thinks that's what ComputerGuy is doing, only on a slightly slower (one post every couple days) basis? Who's got that "I'm an Attention Whore" pic?[whacko] |

I do however have a permanent fear of jump-starting cars though. I have the same fear. A friend of mine lost his vision in one eye when I was helping him jump start his car. We were in a garage, so there wasn't much airflow. He had just taken-off his glasses, because they kept fogging-up. I once saw him lose three toenails when a tree, that was sliding downhill, slid over his foot and ripped the top of his boot off with the toenails. He didn't cuss then. He cussed like a sailor the entire way to the emergency room from the battery acid, so I know it hurt extremely. Batteries produce more hydrogen gas than you think when charging. The hydrogen isn't dangerous, but it can throw acid a long way when it expands from burning. That battery threw the acid a good 15 feet when it blew.z |

I do however have a permanent fear of jump-starting cars though. Now you got me wondering.... How? Jump-starting a car in the rain. Jumped it off, let it charge for a bit.. Disconnected, let it charge some more. Put the car in reverse and eased it back to turn around. When I put it in drive again, it stalled. Hooked up the cables again, dead car first. When I touched the last cable to the live car, it sparked and ignited the flamable gas that was present due to previous load on the battery. As soon as I saw the flame I dropped the cable and ran. Pieces of the battery landed near my feet about 50 feet away. |

I have a little story that shows how dangerous this stuff is. I was doing experiments with it, and got a drop of it on my finger and didn't know it. A few seconds later I felt a burning sensation, and looked and saw a red mark. It began burning really bad, so I got a kleenex and wiped it off, and then rinsed it off in the sink. Just about ten seconds of exposure, and I had a very sore red mark that was badly swollen. The mark was visible for a few weeks. If I had left it on for very much longer it would have turned my skin black.

BOOOM. buds battery explodes. his bud is just standing there slackjawed. i dont know if there was any sort of barrier or not between them and the auto at that time. (i wasnt around then, he was 18) neighter was hurt. |
