Accepted Answer

Terrible idea: If you are having thoughts about killing yourself,  get seen at the nearest emergency room now. Have a friend or relative drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call the National suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk (1-800-273-8255) for support.

Question 7

i was opening a remote to change the batteries and  battery acid got on my skin. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Battery acid: Battery acid is often super-concentrated and can have a pH of 2.0 or lower, so it's critical to use a copious amount of water to flush the affected burn region and dilute the chemical reactivity of the acid. Use plenty of water. If you spritz just a small amount of water on the burn, that can actually make the situation worse by spreading the acid around without reducing its potency. Doc if needed.

Question 8

i'm wondering if i dunk my hand in a barrel of battery acid what would happen?

Accepted Answer

Acid burns are bad!: Not a good thought. You will get burns and severe pain. Hand burns are called primary area burns requiring hospitalization, need for multiple surgeries if burns are deep which they can be with acid burns. The longterm sequelae include poor functioning hands and in some patients even loss of fingers.

Question 9

do you feel skin burning upon contact with battery acid?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: All acids can burn the skin.  Battery acid is sulphuric acid which has a stronger acidity that can burn skin.  If you get battery acid (or any strong acid) on your skin, immediately flush it off with copious amounts of water and you can neutralize it with baking soda if that is at hand.

Question 10

hi i got dry battery acid on my fingers i washed them 3 times will i be safe to touch my baby and food?

Accepted Answer

Acid: With very thorough rinsing and washing and with no evident burn or blistering, you should be ok. Battery acid is actually dilute but I 'm not sure what dry acid is. If you have any doubt wear latex gloves for a day when handling food or your baby.
