Um, so, I burnt my thumb with concentrated white vinegar. I tried googling what to do, but I haven't been able to find an answer.

Just wondering if the wisdom of the DT has any insight?

pic of thumb, sfw

Edit: nvm. Ive just realised it's interacting with the grazes I have on my thumb from punching moths yesterday; I missed and punched the wooden bed frame. Rinsed thoroughly

Like any burn you should run it under cold water but tbh I've never heard of burning oneself with vinegar. I hope it feels better soon.

Cutting up citrus behind the bar let me know where all my papercuts were.

acetic acid is nasty. Rinse with lots and lots of water.

keep it away from your eyes and don't breathe it in
