FIRST AID ON ACID ATTACK : Stop the burning process (in case of fire for example: stop, drop and roll); remove the burning source.Remove all burnt/burning clothing (unless stuck to the patient) and jewellery making sure that the First Aider doesn’t sustain acid burns themselves to their hands or other parts! The most critical aspect of acid burn care is the constant and prolonged washing of the area with water at a room temperature to get the acid out immediately! It will benefit the victim immensely to be taken to the nearest source of running water for dousing for at least half an hour to try and wash the acid away before subsequent care.3. To try and minimize the damage, the effects of acid should be neutralized by applying a mild alkali solution to the affected area (solution of sodium bi-carbonate and water – baking soda and water).
