A member asked:

Do you feel skin burning upon contact with battery acid?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
