Lovesalt Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 While performing a variety of water tests last night, evidently I dropped one of the solutions on my foot and it burned a hole in me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovesalt Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Second picture is tonight, 24 hours later. Not painful but there's definitely a hole. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesmiles902 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ouch! Yeah, I'd stay clear of getting most testing solutions on your skin. Many are strong acids and bases. If you do it again, run your hand under water for a minute or so. It should help. Prolonged exposure will cause damage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovesalt Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Miles, I have heard that. The kits warn that they aren't good for your skin. This was a first for me. I dripped something on my sock/foot and later (30 minutes) I couldn't figure out why my foot was burning. Took my sock off to find a slimy spot of missing skin.

shaywood Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Maybe I missed something. Exactly which test kit is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovesalt Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 I did almost every test I had so I'm not sure which solution I dripped in my foot but I suspect it was ammonia or nitrate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesmiles902 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have a feeling it was an acid burn. For future incidients, you can search online for the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) of the ingredient and they will give you sure fire guidance on how to handle any type of incident, spill, burn, disposal etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
