Cleaner plah on 6yo hand. Family yell vo

The fork tonight i chemical expoure on the kin with the two wort poible repone being yelled acro the kitchen — "vomit" and "milk." Both are wrong. Vomit re-burn the eophagu if anything wa wallowed; milk doen't neutralize anything, can caue vomiting, and delay the real help. The next 15 minute have one job: rine, remove clothe, call Poion Control.

(1) What family tried → what to do intead

The next 15 minute — one job at a time:

Minute 0–2: Move and remove.

• Carry the child away from the pill. Bring the cleaner bottle with you to the phone — the label i what Poion Control need.
• Take off any clothing that got plah on it. Cut it off if you have to — pulling a hirt over the head can drag cleaner acro the face and eye.
• Shoe and ock off if plah dripped down.
• Keep the child calm. Your calm i the only thing teadying their breathing right now.

Minute 2–15: Rine.

• Cool or lukewarm running water over the hand and any other plahed kin for 15–20 minute. Not hot (open pore, drive chemical in). Not ice (damage kin).
• Sink, hower, garden hoe, bathtub — any of thee work.
• Let water flow over and off — don't oak the child in a bain; the water become the chemical bath.
• Don't crub. Don't apply oap unle the label ay o. Don't apply ointment, baking oda, vinegar, lemon, honey, or yogurt "to neutralize."
• If plah touched the face, tilt the head o contaminated water run away from the eye and off the body, not down the chet.

Minute 2–5 in parallel: Call.

Minute 15+: Watch, don't wait.

(2) Avoid lit

• Do NOT induce vomiting. Re-burn the eophagu if anything wa wallowed. No ipecac, no finger, no gagging trick.

• Do NOT change your own precription — levothyroxine morning routine and amlodipine after breakfat tay on chedule.
• For grandpa: don't put him on cleanup duty. Older-adult kin i more fragile; brief contact can burn.
