Accidentally got toilet water into eyes

Whenever summer comes, it is also the time when various mosquito bites are most concentrated. Since the ingredients in floral water can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain, many people will use floral water to prevent bites, or apply it to the bitten area to relieve skin discomfort. Some people accidentally get toilet water in their eyes when spraying it. When the eyes are irritated by the chemical components in the toilet water, such as alcohol and fragrance, they will experience tears, pain and other phenomena.

1. What to do if toilet water gets into your eyes

1. Rinse with clean water

When toilet water enters the eyes, the eyes will become red, swollen, painful, and tearful. This is a normal response of the eyes to external stimuli. At this time, you should immediately rinse the eyes with plenty of water to reduce the concentration of toilet water in the eyes and reduce the irritation reaction.

2. Don’t rub your eyes

If toilet water gets into your eyes, rinse them with clean water and do not rub your eyes. There are bacteria on your hands, and the area around your eyes that is irritated by the toilet water has weaker resistance. If you keep rubbing your eyes, you may easily be infected with bacteria, which may cause inflammation.

3. Eye drops

If toilet water gets into your eyes, you should immediately rinse your eyes with clean water, then put a few drops of antibiotic eye drops, or use anti-inflammatory eye drops to rinse the eyeballs to prevent eye infection and inflammation. Although there are no corrosive substances in toilet water, if a large amount enters, it may cause eye inflammation.

4. Hospital visit

After a series of treatments, if the discomfort symptoms of the eyes not only do not change but instead become more serious such as inflammation, swelling, redness, pain, etc., you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Precautions for using floral water

1. Do not use after mosquito bites

Floral water contains an ingredient called Imonine, which can make mosquitoes lose the awareness of biting humans, thus preventing mosquito bites. However, if you use floral water after being bitten by mosquitoes, it will not improve local symptoms. It may even cause skin allergies and aggravate the symptoms. Therefore, do not use floral water after being bitten by mosquitoes.

2. Do not use it for a long time or in large quantities

Toilet water contains alcohol. When applied to the body, the evaporation of alcohol will take away body heat and create a cool feeling. However, long-term and excessive use will lead to sweating dysfunction on the body surface, poor sweating, and poor excretion of heat in the body, which can easily cause heatstroke.

3. Keep away from open flame after application

Floral water contains 75% alcohol and is flammable. Therefore, do not use open flames immediately after applying the floral water. When storing it, be sure to keep it away from fire sources and avoid exposure to sunlight. Keep it in a cool place.

4. Dilute before use by children

Floral water contains high levels of irritating ingredients, and children's skin is delicate. If applied directly to the skin, it will cause some irritation and discomfort to children. Therefore, it should be diluted 5 times before use on children.
