Battery Acid

[Timmy]

This might sound like a stupid question. What would happen if someone was injected with battery acid in a high and low dosage? How would you treat it?

I’ve tried Google and searched the site, with no luck.

BTW I’m not planning to inject someone with it.

Do you mean Battery Acid as in LSD or as in say, automobile battery acid?

[NREMT-Basic]

My impression from toxicology class is that any amount would be not a good thing.

ok, the question begs to be asked, why would you inject someone with Battery acid. I've heard of drano in the vein but never battery acid.

Was there some reason why you asked this question, did you have a call related to this or is it just curiosity.

I would think that battery acid and skin,vein, artery, system,heart = BAD NEWS BATMAN

How in God's name would someone come to be injected with battery acid? Or are you just thinking up new and creative torture methods?

now if you are wanting to inject battery acid into something but not a human there are scores of sites out there that talk about injecting battery acid into like plastic and molds and stuff.

Timmy,

I am under the assumption that your talking about Rayon, commonly referred as battery acid. It is made with Sulfuric Acid and water and used as a electrolyte for lead acid storage batteries. Unless your one of those backyard chemists trying to make meth I have no idea why someone would be injected with this stuff. If you are talking like a major spill you would be calling a hazmat or hazwhoper line. Most bigger cities have a special HAZMAT unit in place to handle spills. I am sure if you google Sulfuric Acid or Rayon you will come up with a better understanding of what you are really asking. I really don' understand why you would be asking this. :-k

I have REALLY got to hone my search abilities. I ran searches on google and Ask.com but came up empty except for some MSDS sheets. What engines do you use?

Thanks!

Never had battery acid, however I did have someone that injected themselves with muric acid. We initiated a NaHc03 drip and monitored...yes, he was a cranker...

All I gotta say is you better use a glass syringe, or it probably ain't gonna work.
