When the toilet or sewer is blocked
Many people will choose to buy a bottle of unclogging agent
Try to solve the problem yourself
I don't know
A potent dredger
Hidden Crisis!
Ms. Huang in Zhejiang runs a homestay, and in the past, every 1-2 months, she needed to ask someone to dredge the sewers, which was really a big expense. In order to save money, she decided to pour the dredge to dredge the pipe herself, but the wrong way to use it made her nearly blind.
"I poured half a bottle down the drain and saw it bubbling all the time, and then I 'banged' and exploded!" The 15-month-old baby was in the bedroom, crying in horror from the explosion.
Subsequently, Ms. Huang and her husband rushed to the hospital more than ten kilometers away. On examination, burns of the left cornea and conjunctiva are diagnosed. The doctor told her that if she had gotten any closer, she might have been blind.
After returning home, Ms. Huang and her husband carefully reviewed the instructions for the use of the pipe unclogging agent and found that the excessive dosage was the main reason for the accident. Throughout the operation, Ms. Huang did not wear safety precautions such as gloves, masks and glasses.
What exactly is a pipe dredger and why is it so powerful?
In fact, most of the unclogging agents are products based on the alkaline component sodium hydroxide. When sodium hydroxide encounters water, it generates a lot of heat, and the pressure on the narrow pipe also increases. At this time, the liquid will splash out of the narrow pipe and release gas, which is extremely corrosive and can easily burn people's skin.
Doctors remind you that if you are accidentally burned by liquids, do not apply toothpaste, soy sauce, flour and other items. If it is a small-scale hand burn, it should be rinsed with running water at the first time, disinfected with iodine or alcohol, and then applied ointment or hospital according to the burn.
If you accidentally eat the pipe unclogging agent, it may cause oral, esophageal, and gastric damage, and when it is serious, it will lead to perforation of the stomach, and it is very necessary to seek medical treatment in time. In addition, if there is obvious discomfort or spraying on the eyes, you should immediately go to the nearest hospital for treatment. When using, the dosage and method marked on the instructions should be strictly followed and close contact should be avoided.
In addition to "burns", uncloggants also have a hazard that cannot be ignored - accidental ingestion by children. If you have children in your home, this type of corrosive product must be stored properly and beware of children touching it.
