When I was six I got a chemistry set for my birthday. Stupidly I threw out that little paper that list all the chemicals not to mix. As soon as I got everything out I started pouring things into the little test tube it came with and I mistakenly made a very strong base.

The mix Began to bubble and spat, some of it hit my face. It ate right through the safety goggles and went into my eyes, after that I passed out. When I woke up I had gauze over my eyes and forehead and was in the hospital. the doctor said I was lucky and didn't blind myself but I had to wear that gauze for 7 months.

When I think about it now I really am a lucky, I could of burned my whole face off but the only permanent damage is some near sightedness and a few scars.
