Welders Flash burn

[kamikaze_rzrbak]

I was welding yesterday in shop and about 10 oclock last night my eyes started burning, felt like a bunch of sand was in my eyes. Whats something i can do to have a speedy recovery. PS i was wearing a helmet but i think the film might be worn out

Yes, I know from first hand experience that potato works. We take and grate some potato sort of like uncooked hash browns. Take that and pack it around your eyes for the evening.

potato also works for burns on ur skin.

lmfao i remember whenn i was really young and my mom told me to put a potato on my burn (touched a damn muffler) i was like "are u serious?:huh " but...it does really work.

[Rastus]

Yep.., the potatoes DO actually work,lol.;)

how , is it somethin in them or what , i'll try that next time i have a burn of some sourt

the best home cure i have found is to take a wash cloth and run it under cold water...lightly ring it out fold it and lie down and place it over your eyes. it will cool your eyes. works way better than the potato..I work in the welding/ fabricating industry and have had my share of flashes..u dont want one from aluminum that is the worst.

lmao...i can just imagina some little 12 year old kid reading this going and burning himself just to see if the tater really works:p

ive found that like...all but froze water works stick it in the freezer untill it gets that icy film over the top then dip a rag in it and lay that over your eyes its cold as hell at first but after you get used to it it feels soo much better. ive only had it 4 times (way too many for me) and i think that works better than the potato. when you wake up in the morning sometimes your eyes will be crusted shut from it and water straight from the cold side of the sink works for that. DONT put warm water on ur eyes though haha that sucks ***!! and yes...get some ddaarrkkk sun glasses youll need them haha
