Flushing Skin and Eyes ** Was: YL CRAP!

[Guest guest]

Hey Dale,

 

As Doreen said .. vegetable oil .. or milk .. will work. Actually,

any fatty substance .. to include bourbon will dilute EO. Pouring

water on the spill will do nothing but move it around.

 

Accordingly .. another of the common bits of misinformation in AT,

that of flushing eyes with veggie oil if EO is spilled into the eye ..

is just NOT the best way. Its misinformation passed along by writers

who have not personally experienced a situation like that. Plain ol'

kuntry folk sense tells us that water is better for flushing the eyes

cause we're not trying to dilute it .. we're trying to move it out as

quickly as possible.
