Default Re: A burning question...
in fact with many chemical burns, the chemical continues to destroy tissue well after the initial contact, when dealing with a burn such as this as a first responder, clothing should be removed and discarded ( remember, protect yourself!) then large quantity's of water should be used to irrigate the area, never immerse a chemical burn due to the chemical binding with the water and causing a larger affected area. hope this helps
