EVERY second after an attack is crucial. As a bystander the life of the victim is solely in your hands. If all first aid is carried out without wasting any time, it can benefit the future of the victim tremendously. It is very important that people are aware of what is to be done in such a situation. Also keeping your own distance while carrying out first aid is very important. You don’t want to get the substance on yourself as it can cause immediate burns. It is very important to be proactive if such a situation arises.
