Call 911 or Poison Control or your local emergency number immediately. If you are able to find the container that the chemical came from, have it with you when you call. Read it to see if it says to give the person milk or water or anything else. If it does, give the person what it says to give them. If it doesn't say to give them anything, DO NOT give them anything. When the person from 911 or Poison Control answers the phone, read them the name of the chemical. Spell it if you cannot pronounce it. Do what the person from 911 or Poison Control says to do.
