preface
In 2014, a mother rushed into a hospital in Jiangxi with her child in her arms. She covered the child's right eye, blood spilling from between her fingers.
"Doctor! Doctor! "She cried and shouted." Save my child! His right eye "melted"! ”
Everyone present cast terrified eyes on the mother and son, and the nurse led them into the emergency room, and the doctor was startled to see the child's condition.
After the examination, the doctor said in a distressed tone: "With the current level of medical treatment, there is no way to cope with this situation." ”
After the child's mother listened, the whole person went paralyzed.
What exactly happened? Why are the little boy's eyes melted?
"Melted" eyes
It was a day that Ms. Li did not want to remember, and what should have been full of joy has now become a nightmare, leaving a lifetime of pain.
On that day, the child Coco took the excellent report card and said to the mother: "Mom! I got a high score! ”
Ms. Li looked at Coco Shui Lingling's eyes full of expectation, and decided to take him to the supermarket to buy snacks as a reward, and Coco happily picked out many of her favorite snacks in the supermarket.
Back home, Ms. Li prepares dinner in the kitchen, leaving Coco alone in the living room to eat snacks. When he finished the bag, he found that there was a small white package inside, which he had never seen before.
He bit and found that he could not eat; I opened the packet again and sniffed the small particles inside, but there was no smell.
What kind of things is in this unknown bag? As his curiosity continued to be piqued, he came up with the idea: Could these particles melt in the water?
So he filled the bottle of the finished drink with water, poured the contents of the small packet, and then carefully observed.
At this moment, white smoke came out of the bottle, and the bottle body was also deformed due to heat, which attracted Coco's attention.
When the white smoke cleared, the bottle began to expand. Coco was thrilled by the never-before-seen situation, and he approached the bottle and stared intently at the changing bottle.
What he didn't know was that this dangerous move had killed him for the rest of his life.
Boom! A loud bang startled Coco's mother. When she realized that the sound was coming from the living room, she hurried there.
It was a scene she would never forget. Coco curled up on the ground with her right eye covered, and after a brief moan, burst into a mournful, hoarse cry. A broken bottle rolls on the ground, the liquid inside flowing out, still steaming.
Frightened, she quickly picked up the child, took the car keys and rushed to the hospital.
Her home was a twenty-minute drive from the hospital, and her heart was cut like a knife.
After arriving at the hospital, when the doctor examined the child's left eye, he was startled by Coco's injury.
The doctor asked her if it had happened before the child's accident, and she immediately remembered the bottle that was rolling on the ground and hurried back to the hospital to take it to the doctor to see.
The doctor shook his head again and again and said, "The alkaline compound 'melted' the child's eyes, and with the current medical level, there is no way to cope with this situation." ”
She collapsed on the ground, and the nurse quickly helped her up. At this moment, she was horrified and guilty. The child lost an eye at the age of eight, what is the future? Ms. Li couldn't figure it out, how could there be such a dangerous thing at home?
After Coco's condition was slightly better, the doctor asked him what he had done, only to learn that the alkaline substance melted in the water was the desiccant granules in the snack bag, and its reaction with the water caused the tragedy.
"Blame me! If I had known about this sooner, my child would not have been like this! "Ms. Li's heartache broke her liver and intestines.
The desiccant that everyone has has this power!
Not only that, but many of life's chemicals are potentially dangerous.
Potential chemical accidents in life
Coincidentally, early last year, a three-year-old child in Shenzhen was also admitted to the hospital by his mother due to a chemical accident.
When he was admitted to the hospital, the doctor on duty observed that the child had a very difficult breath, and his chest was very heaving and rapid.
Not only that, when the doctor used a stethoscope to check the condition of the lungs, he found that there was a gurgling sound, like many blisters bursting.
The child's pale face and cyanosis lips made the mother very worried, she couldn't figure out how it could be like this just by leaving the child alone in the bathroom for a while!
After ruling out a series of medical histories, doctors ask your child if they have smelled irritation.
At this time, the careless mother remembered that the child mixed toilet cleaner and bleach in the water in the morning, emitting a strong pungent smell.
The doctor immediately found the cause: chlorine poisoning!
Toilet cleaner mixed with bleach liquid can be so harmful!
It turns out that toilet cleaners contain inorganic acids mainly hydrochloric acid, while bleach contains sodium hypochlorite. When the two meet together, a chemical reaction will occur to produce a large amount of chlorine, and the human body will be poisoned if it inhales too much! Mild cases may cause chest tightness, cough and so on. Severe ones even have symptoms of difficulty breathing to the point of death!
As the most common daily living item, it can lead to such consequences!
What we need to know is that 84 disinfectant should be stored in a ventilated and cool place, avoid direct sunlight, away from heat sources.
And should be placed out of the reach of children to avoid misuse.
Mistaken patients can immediately eat milk, egg whites, etc., and then induce vomiting, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa to reduce damage, and immediately sent to the hospital for treatment.
In fact, in our daily life, there are many daily necessities containing chemical ingredients to pay attention to, and a little attention will cause tragedy!
(1) Desiccant
In the first case, it was the desiccant that caused the tragedy.
There are two kinds of desiccant, namely food drying and experimental research desiccant. The most frequent contact in daily life is the food desiccant, mainly calcium carbonate.
It is widely used in the storage of sealed foods, such as mooncake boxes, biscuit bags can be seen.
In case 1, cocoa calcium carbonate is mixed with water, and the combination of the two will react violently and rapidly release heat.
It's good if there is enough space, but the bottle mouth is small, and the bottle body is big! When the two react violently, the gas in the bottle expands, causing the bottle to explode, and the alkaline compounds in the bottle are diffused in the form of gas and touch the eyes.
This is why the eyes "melt"!
Therefore, it is best not to mix the desiccant with water in a small space!
(2) Thermometer
In early 2022, a 2-year-old boy in Fuzhou crushed a mercury thermometer, causing mercury to enter his abdomen, causing mild mercury poisoning. Fortunately, after treatment, he improved and was eventually discharged from the hospital.
Mercury is another name for the heavy metal mercury, which is a silvery-white liquid metal that can evaporate into a gaseous state at room temperature and is commonly used in ordinary thermometers.
For liquid mercury, short-term direct contact can cause erythema on the skin. At this time, it should be cleaned with soapy water.
For gaseous mercury, you should seek medical attention in time after accidentally breathing, otherwise it is easy to cause mercury poisoning. With mercury in the human body, body functions and secretory organs can be damaged, especially brain damage.
The most vulnerable to mercury on a daily basis is when the mercury thermometer breaks, and the risk of mercury poisoning increases greatly.
In daily life, if the mercury thermometer breaks, wear a mask and gloves, use hard pieces of paper to gather the mercury together, and put it in a closed container.
The remaining mercury that is difficult to collect is sprinkled with sulfur powder and collected to reduce the harm to the human body.
Remember not to dispose of mercury in the sewer, otherwise it will cause heavy metal pollution!
(3) The pungent smell of the toilet
In 2014, four young children in Yan'an Kindergarten fainted while going to the toilet, and then six children also developed symptoms of discomfort, and after being sent to the hospital for rescue, one child died after ineffective rescue. According to one toddler, "I went to the toilet and came out feeling dizzy. ”
Everyone wonders about the cause of the accident, can the toilet also smoke people?
Finally, after investigation, it was found that the ammonia content in the toilet was high.
Ammonia is a colorless gas with a strong pungent odor and is also an alkaline substance capable of corroding and irritating skin tissue. It has a corrosive and irritating effect on skin tissue, destroying cells after contact.
Mainly derived from building construction, interior decoration materials and furniture, and ammonia produced by the human body. Such as human urine, feces and so on.
Even the sweat produced will release a small amount of ammonia, so there are many sources of ammonia in the room. The ammonia content of public toilets is also very large, and pungent toilets should be avoided as much as possible.
(4) Pipeline dredging agent
At the beginning of 2023, a woman exploded after pouring dredging agent into the sewer! The woman was unfortunately disfigured...
On the same day, Ms. Li mixed the dredging agent with water and poured it into the sewer according to the instruction manual. Immediately, a loud noise resounded throughout the house.
The sewer actually exploded! The hot and corrosive liquid splashed onto Miss Li's feet, arms and feet, and face, and the place where it was splashed was hot and painful.
After treatment, although the wound healed, it left Miss Li with a tenth-degree disabled facial deformity, because the scar remained on Miss Li's face forever... This left a huge shadow on Miss Li, who loves beauty.
Sewer dredging is a necessary part of daily household cleaning and maintenance, and the use of pipe dredging agents is the most common method.
Pipeline dredging agent is one of the chemical agents for rapid dredging of pipelines, which dissolves various blockages in the pipeline after a series of rapid chemical reactions, so that the water flow can flow smoothly.
Acids, alkalis and oxidants are the main components of commonly used pipeline dredging agents, and pipeline dredging agents may also cause some harm to the human body.
If you accidentally spray the skin or eyes when using the dredging, it may cause eye inflammation or burns.
Inhalation of the volatile odor of the dredging agent may also lead to respiratory problems or toxic reactions.
Therefore, when using pipeline dredging agents, indoor ventilation should be maintained, and safety protective equipment such as gloves and masks should be worn with caution at all times.
Measures to avoid injuries to your child
In recent years, there have been countless accidental injuries caused by chemical components, especially desiccants, in daily necessities. Because the children are small and have less safety awareness, the proportion of injuries to children is higher.
In addition to paying attention to the safety of daily life products and the surrounding environment, as a parent, protecting the safety of your children and preventing the potential harm of desiccant is a very important issue that cannot be ignored!
How exactly should I do that?
(1) Start by placing the desiccant
Food desiccant is often found in food packaging bags and is easily removed by children.
When the child does not have the ability to discriminate or has poor sense of discrimination, he should accompany the child to open the food packaging bag, take away the desiccant, and place it in a place where the child is difficult to reach.
In this way, the child will not come into contact with this dangerous object out of curiosity, thus avoiding the tragedy of cocoa from the root.
(2) Teach children to identify desiccants and enhance children's correct safety awareness
You can hold the desiccant and tell your child that this is a dangerous item, as can other daily necessities with chemicals.
By teaching correct behavior, the child is protected to the greatest extent in terms of awareness from the potential hazards of desiccants. If the child still likes to play, you can do a small experiment together within a safe range to let the child know that the consequences of playing with desiccant are serious.
(3) Make the correct first aid measures after the accident has occurred
Do not blindly give first aid, send to the hospital in time, and tell the medical staff the composition of the desiccant so that they can have appropriate treatment countermeasures.
epilogue
In short, creating a safe and healthy environment for children to grow up is an important task for parents in life! This requires us to work together to avoid the threat of desiccants and similar chemicals to children.
I hope that the article can help parents and children understand the hidden dangers in life, master more safety knowledge, so that they can kill these dangers in the cradle in time, and may every child stay away from danger and thrive!
