Glow stick in eye..?!
Question: Glow stick in eye!.!.!?
so!.!.someone told my cousin that if you microwave a glow stick for a few seconds, itll glow again!. so she did it and tried to show me!.!.well it exploded in my eye!. i flushed it out with water for about 10-15 minutes and it still burns a little, but otherwise i feel fine!. i called my aunt and she said it was non-toxic, but i still wasn't sure so i looked it up online and a few people said they called poison control and said it just causes irritation!. i just wanted to be sure it won't mess with my eyesight!.!.but i can see perfectly!.

If the irritation lets up you will be fine!. Just know that if you have any further irritation, redness, pain etc!.!.!. that you go to a doctor immediately!. Just give it a few hours and than consider a doctor!. If you have any vision changes go in immediately!!! I know that some of those sticks have tiny little pieces of fragments that are like microscopic glass and I have got one all over my hands before that ended up embedding in my skin and I noticed it later!. I would hate to see that end up to your eye as it could cause permanent damage!. Good Luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
The best thing to do would be to go get it checked out!. There are a variety of glow sticks and no one really knows unless they had experience in some way!. Getting your eye checked out will at least help you stop worrying!. It's a good sign that you don't have any really bad symptoms!. Your doctor can give you accurate information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
if you flushed it all out you should be fine, if there's something wrong in a few days see an eye doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
