The reason for this article is that so many people are getting attacked nowadays as so many evil people see acid as the punishment of sorts for whatever they feel offended by. So many victims in the aftermath have had their lives changed forever because of this. The victims, mainly women, do not have the prescience to know what is about to befall them and they most definitely would probably have fared better if someone had given them information on what to do in the event of such an unfortunate and unexpected eventuality.

What is an acid?

In chemistry, an acid is defined as a substance that turns litmus red, neutralizes alkalis, and such things; but for the purpose of this article, I will define for the layman thus:

An acid, (at least the ones usually employed for these dastardly acts) is a corrosive liquid that is the equivalent of liquid fire

May God bless you for sharing this invaluable information and may He save us from wicked souls.

Yes, it is fire and it sometimes does more damage than fire itself. So have it at the back of your mind that an acid is just fire.

Many people know that if your clothes catch fire, you should drop, roll and try to smother the fire. But people also need to know what to do if it is acid that they have on them.

What to do if acid is thrown at you.

If you see any liquid thrown at you,(even if it's water) especially at your face (because this is usually the site targeted by assailants for maximum damage), and you don't have time to duck and dodge, do all these things in quick succession:

1.Use your hand to shield your face from the liquid coming towards you at the same time close your eyes. Flee and while fleeing from the source of the attack, (because they can throw more at you) shout for help as you flee and shout as loud as you can.

Now, this is the most important part so I have to explain before I say the next steps.

Concentrated acid is highly destructive. To give you a mental picture of what it can do, if a drop is dropped on someone's hand, it will start burning or "eating" the surface where it is dropped. If nothing is done to halt its progress, it would continue till it gets to the bone and if nothing is done still, it can "eat" away the bone as well.

This is to show you the power of what you might be dealing with.

If unfortunately you are hit by the liquid, what you do, and do fast, will determine the outcome. The key word here is WATER.

You need water, and you need lots of it.

2. As you flee, either shout for people to bring water, or if you know a water source like a pool that won't take too much time to get to like a running tap, head there, if you see shops, grab water and use, you really need water and you need it badly.

If you can get to running water, get there and put the affected part under running water you need to be under continuous running water for at least 30 mins. This might sound odd but don't rush to the Hospital. It is the things you do immediately in the aftermath that would determine how severe the burns will be. You must be desperate to save yourself and reduce future disfigurement. Water, Water, Water. The mistake that people make is that they douse water quite all right, but they douse just like a cup etc and thereafter, head for hospital. The acid will continue destroying the patient's tissue all the way to the hospital and might even spread to other parts because of the little water.

To buttress this point, Two female British teenage charity workers had acid thrown at them in Zanzibar, and luckily for them, they were not too far from the sea so they dashed to the sea to wash off and today, the only way you would know anything happened to them is probably from slight skin colour difference on the site of the acid attack.

3. Don't put anything like oils, creams, ointments etc. as this might adversely affect the treatment doctors will give you later. Water is all you need before you get to the hospital.

4. Remove all the jewelry, clothing and apparel which had contact with acid.

5. When you have done all these things, head for hospital.



Prevention is better than cure though, so:

As a note of caution,

Be wary of someone coming towards you with a cup, bottle etc.

Be aware and alert of your surroundings and of people moving suspiciously around you.

Watch out for people who might bear a grudge against you. And if you see them approaching menacingly, run and alert people around as you do so.

Yuneehk:

BUHARI'S MAY 29TH SPEECH LEAKED!!!! Your seselency,
Aisha Bureau De Change, the pest lady, oh! Sorry the wife of
the fresident of the pedral lipublik of Naijeria,. Your
seselency, fropessuar Yemi Osibande, the pice fresident of
the pedral lipublik of Naijeria. Your seselencies, the Senate
fresident and the sfeeker of the house of refresensesiv. Your
seselency, John Oyegun, the national chairman of our great
farty, the All Frogressive Confidence. (A Fee Cee). You
seselency, the chairman of Independent Naijeria Electoral
Cuomisun. Not porgeting our sfecial guest of honor,
fresident Michele of West Germany. Members of the fress.
Pellow Naijerians. Walahi talahi if I must conpess, it is not
easy to gubern a kuontri like Naijeria because our fifu are
criminals and berry kwarupt, no wunder my preind, the
frime minister of UK said we are pantasticaly kwarupt. And
I totally agree with him though I don't agree with UK Daily
Mail newsfafer that said the pormer gubernor of Livers State
who is now my minister por transfort is pantasticaly
kwarupt. The money Amaechi injected into my camfein was
gotten prom his savings. Waka shege damburuba to Tyrano
Tsunami and his gang por Pesvook and Twitter that are
saying that I am not paiting kwaruption. If I catch them eh,
sorry would be their middle name. Boko Haram terrorists
are still bombing though, but they have been depeated
tekinicaly because we have granted them amnesty. Any
Boko Haram you see still bombing today are not Nijerians
but Chadians. If you are prom the North and you have any
bruder that looks like a Boko Haram member, just bring him
and we will grant him amnesty. Flease you fifu should stop
accusing Pulani herdsmen of killings because those fifu are
not Pulani fifu but Libyans. Pulani fifu are feacepul fifu.
Chibok Girls! Yoowaa, this is my highest achievement por
the fast one year in oppice. We have rescued two of the
Chibok girls that were kidnapped in their hotels. Though
there is confroversy surrounding their rescue because the
pest girl has so many conplicting names and cannot speak
English. And madam Oby Ezekwesili of BBOG has said that
the second girl's name is not pound on the oliginal list. I
don't know if she is saying that because I repused to give
her pedral appointment. But whether they are Chibok girls or
not, the most imfortant thing is that there was a rescue.
Shikena! Lung live the pedral guberment of Naijeria

MadCow1:



So the people wey don suffer acid attacks, God no like them abi?

Or you think say na you holy pass.. Don't mind shedrack. It does not mean they are not loved by God they were just victims of circumstance. Those who are not bathed may still have other lesser chalenges they are groping with.





You better carry pen and paper copy this thing now start to spread the message.

xtervaganza:
Just trying to imagine how a sane person will be comfortable going to bed every night knowing he/she threw acid on someone's face

Lamasta:
The reason why WATER is the first thing needed by an acid attack victim is because what acid does to the body is to first of all DEHYDRATE the victim i.e remove or dry up all the available water in the body and then start the attack on the individual by burning and damaging most vital organ in the body that it has contact with....
This acid might be STRONG OR WEAK ACID, STRONG ACIDS are HCL (Hydrochloric acid), HNO3 (Nitric acid) and H2SO4 (Sulphoric acid) while weak acids are CH3COOH (Ethanoic acids), Hypochloric acids etc
If You come accross any acid attack victim first thing to do as the OP rightly advises is to run under a running tap or quickly take an emergency shower or wet yourself with any available water nearby, what this water does is to reduce the concentration of the acid if it is a STRONG ACID so that the effect or damage will not be much so the more water you pour on the affected area the less injury sustain by the victim......Weak Acids have less effect unlike strong and concentrated acid.......The victim can then be taken to the Hospital for proper medical check up......Never mind my grammer typed it a hurry, From an Industrial Chemist
