I got mould killer in my eye. I rinsed it for a few minutes then rang poisons information. They told me to get in the shower with my eyes open for 15 minutes then go to hospital. When I got to hospital the put litmus paper in my eye / the reading was still bad so the sat me over a sink with water running over my eye for another 20 mins.
