Here’s what you should do in an acid attack
NHS Choices say chemical burns require immediate medical attention at an A&E department.
If you're helping someone else, they advise to put on appropriate protective clothing and then:
*Remove any contaminated clothing on the person
*If the chemical is dry, brush it off their skin
*Use running water to remove any traces of the chemical from the burnt area
*Many health advice sites warn against using a hard spray of water on the affected area as it could possibly lead to more damage.
“If possible, find out what chemical caused the burn and tell the healthcare professionals at A&E,” NHS Choices say.
