In cases of burns from dry chemicals such as lime, the powder should be completely brushed away before the area is washed.
In cases of dry chemical burns, the affected area should be flushed with large amounts of water immediately. Remove any clothing or jewelry that may contain the chemical and continue to rinse the area for at least 20 minutes. Seek medical attention promptly, as dry chemical burns can cause significant tissue damage.
Drinking chlorine can have harmful effects on the body. It is a highly reactive chemical that can irritate the throat, esophagus, and stomach. Ingesting large amounts of chlorine can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and in severe cases, it can lead to chemical burns and damage to internal organs. It is important to seek medical attention if you accidentally consume chlorine.
A chemical reaction normally does have a product, and that product in some cases would be a polymer, but it is not true that a chemical reaction is a product or a polymer. It is a specific chemical change.
Prompt medical care can be extremely helpful in cases of stroke (since there is a drug that can dissolve blood clots in the brain). If a person appears to be having a stroke, he or she should be taken to a hospital immediately.
In most of the cases it is true but in some cases the reactants may also form the precipitates.
That's because there is no chemical change. In most cases, there is no chemical change when a substance evaporates. The exception is very long molecules, which may break apart during evaporation.
It can be an indicator of a caustic or corrosive chemical (acid, bleach. etc), or other kind of irritant having been swallowed, especially if there are burns inside the mouth as well. In any event, burns to the face or mouth should be treated as an emergency and the person should get medical attention immediately. !! Do NOT induce vomiting as the chemical that was or may have been swallowed will burn again on the way back up!! Note also that in cases where the patient manifests chemical burns, the rescuer must consider this to be a dangerous environment, until determined otherwise -- think HAZMAT.
In some cases yes. You should visit the family court immediately and ask about the rules in your state.In some cases yes.

Get the patient to fresh air or away from the chemical agent.
Yes, if you are very lucky, you can get minor burns from an arc flash. In most cases, if you are not wearing appropriate protective clothing, you are likely to suffer severe burns.
1. Make sure the cause of the burn has been removed. Try not to come in contact with it yourself. If the chemical is dry, brush off any excess. Avoid brushing it into your eyes. Remove any contaminated clothing or jewelry. 2. Flush the chemicals off the skin surface using cool running water for 15 minutes or more. 3. Treat the victim for shock if he or she appears faint, pale, or if there is shallow, rapid breathing. 4. Apply cool, wet compresses to relieve pain. 5. Wrap the burned area with a dry sterile dressing (if possible) or clean cloth. Protect the burned area from pressure and friction. 6. Minor chemical burns will generally heal without further treatment. However, if there is a second or third degree burn (the skin has blisters covering an area more than 3 inches in diameter) or if there is a systemic (overall body) reaction, get medical help immediately. In severe cases, don't leave the victim alone and watch carefully for systemic reactions. Note: If chemical gets into the eye(s), the eye(s) should be flushed with water immediately. Continue to flush the eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. After washing the eyes thoroughly, close the eyelids and cover them with loose, moist dressings. Get medical help immediately.
You usually can. (... and should - that's why labs often have emergency showers.) flush your skin with water if it itches or burns during a lab. There are, however, a few chemicals that will react with water and make matters worse. In those cases the itching and burning will be from the chemical reacting with the moisture in your skin. Before working with any chemicals in the lab you should make sure you know what the hazards are so that you can take proper precautions to avoid exposure to the chemicals that can cause the irritation - such as wearing protective gloves, long sleeve shirts, and possibly a face shield. If a chemical is reactive with water, the MSDS should explain proper alternative procedures in the event that some gets on the skin and causes irritation.
I have heard that baking soda neutralizes alkaline battery acid. Rinse the affected area well, at least 3-5 mins then apply about 2oz of baking soda liberally while skin is still wet. Leave on for a few mins or at least 30 seconds. In severe cases it is recommended to ask the advice of a health care professional or call 911. * Chemical burns can be serious take action immediately.
Because in many cases, the victim is too frightened to report it. Therefore the 'crime' goes unpunished. Anyone suddenly becoming the subject of bullying should report it immediately.

In most cases of lipidoses, the body does not produce a certain enzyme or chemical.
