A member asked:

I got the stuff from a leaking ice pack on my skin what do i do? am i going to be poisoned?!

Wash skin now: If it is only located on unbroken skin, just wash it thoroughly and you should be fine. Rinse and dilute the chemical with plenty of water. If you develop a mild burn, treat it carefully or see a doctor.
