Injury, from soaking

Eye contact with either the liquid or high concentrations of vapor causes immediate discomfort with conjunctival hyperemia and slight corneal injury corneal burns from splashes recover quickly with no scarring. Prolonged skin exposure, as from contact with soaked clothing, produces severe irritation, moderate edema, and necrosis systemic effects may ensue as the liquid is readily absorbed through the skin. ... 

There has been much interest in the injuries to plants from environmental S02 emissions. These injuries may be caused by aqueous S02 or by the entrance of S02 through the stomata (Taekemoto and Noble, 1986). The general symptom of S02 toxicity is water-soaked areas on the leaves which develop into well-defined dry white necrotic spots (Mansfield and Lucas, 1990). Although acute S02 damage is quite common, the occurrences are usually very localised near the source, and related to weather conditions favouring slow dispersion of the gas. 

Sulfur Dioxide. S02 injury on plants has received much attention, particularly during the past half century, and the toxic effects are well known. Symptoms of acute injury to specific crops have been described by investigators in several countries (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 15). Acute necrosis results from rapid absorption of S02. Once S02 enters the mesophyll tissue, it reacts with water to produce the sulfite ion which has strong phytotoxic properties. When lethal concentrations accumulate in the most susceptible areas of the leaf, a dark green, water-soaked discoloration develops. The affected area soon becomes flaccid, and upon drying becomes white to ivory on most plants. In some instances the dead tissue may turn red, brown, or almost black. 

Prevent ileus treat constipation aggressively doses range from 1-1.4 mg/m (max) doses are traditionally capped at 2 mg to minimize neurotoxicity, but capping is controversial Reduce dose by 50% for total bilirubin 1.5-3 mg/dL by 75% for total bilirubin >3 mg/dL treat extravasation injury with warm soaks, and injection of hyaluronidase LETHAL if administered intrathecally ... 

Many DPE herbicides produce injury upon contact with plant foliage. Injury symptoms become evident as a "water-soaked appearance. This is generally thought to result from a leakage of cellular constituents into the intercellular air spaces of the leaf. 

Surgical staff should wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment, which can protect from unwanted fluid splash or sharps injuries. PPE includes gloves, face masks, soak-proof gowns, impervious boots or shoe covers, face shields, and other eye protection devices. Make safety scalpels with movable shields or retracting blades available to surgeons and other operating room personnel. 

Clothing soaked in chemicals can do serious injury to the body so you need to remove all contaminated clothing, including shoes, socks, and jewelry that might have chemicals trapped on them. Do not attempt to wipe off the chemical from the clothing.
