Hi guys, I am slowly recovering from my acid explosion.
I am a third year photography student and doing my final year and dissertation.
So yesterday we were learning to print on fabric with a special chemical (bear in mind my teacher is a little loopy and arty) The chemical is a solid and needs to be consistency of cream by putting the bottle into boiling water and wait til it reaches 60 degrees.
So enlargers all ready teachers tells us chemical is all ready and she goes out of the darkroom a fellow student attempts to pour the chemical into a pot (so we can brush it onto the canvas and material) It wont seem to pour out so I bent down and looked to see if it was still solid and poof it exploded in my face!
Cue panic and we frantically wash it off our skin and my throat and eye starts burning and I keep being sick and my two lovely fellow students who used to be nurses wash my face eye and skin continually, one of them tells the teacher we need to call an ambulance teahcer says she does not know if they can do that or how to do it!!!
Well I was taken to the hospital thanks to my two fellow students who saved my eyes by washing them! I got home with one blurry eyes at just gone midnight! x
