What to do if Muriatic acid gets into mouth?

Answer 1

Acids are caustic by nature. Murianic Acid, C00H, will have varying effects on the eyes depending on its concentration. 0.1M acid is about the same concentration as your stomach acid which will cause minor irritation to the eyes (redness and itching). Lab strength acid (sometimes up to 12M) can cause blindness by dissolving the lens/cornea of the eye. Using an eyewash (sink would work) the acid is diluted to the point of no longer affecting the eye. Once eyewash has been completed for at least 5 minutes, go to an emergency room to ascertain the extent of the damage to the eye.

Answer 2

Just wash it under plenty of fresh water, I used to do a lot of work with eucalyptus hard woods and this made my hands go black, so to clean the black of my hands I would start the tap running and then pour straight acid on my hands quickly rub them together, ( this is a good way of finding cuts and nicks in your hands) and them stick them under the running water. So long as you wash it of quickly it wont do you any harm.

Answer 3

If muriatic acid gets into the mouth, rinse the mouth with water immediately for at least 15 minutes to dilute the acid. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately or contact a poison control center for further guidance.

Answer 4

It's hydrochloric acid, which is the corrosive part of stomach acid. If it's not diluted, it'll dissolve the inside of your mouth. In other words, you're f--ked.
