What do you do if you ingested battery acid?

Answer 1

Hazards of Battery AcidAutomotive battery acid is Sulphuric Acid [H2SO4] which will literally "eat" through clothing or skin.

If you were to "snort" Sulphuric Acid, even huff the fumes from it, it will burn the tender skin of your nose, throat, Bronchial tubes, and lungs.

Snorting battery acid, or huffing its fumes, will not give you any good feelings, or highs,

BUT it WILL damage the tissues of your body with which it makes contact, and in the best case scenario, will cause blistering of those tissues, but depending on the extent of exposure, could burn your lungs so bad that they cannot absorb Oxygen [O2] and expel Carbon Dioxide [CO2], and you will die a miserable death!!!!!

And that's guaranteed!!!!!

Answer 2

Check with poison control.

What do I do if someone swallows sulfuric acid?

NEVER give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, is unconscious or is convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink 240 to 300 mL (8 to 10 oz) of water to dilute material in stomach. If milk is available, it may be administered AFTER the water has been given. If vomiting occurs naturally, repeat administration of water. Quickly transport victim to an emergency care facility.

Answer 3

Seek immediate medical attention by calling emergency services or going to the nearest hospital. Do not induce vomiting or drink water. Rinse your mouth with water if possible, and provide information about the type of battery acid ingested to healthcare professionals.
