lets say i was lucky... 1st degree burns up and down my arms and legs, Its not the fucken pain for 2 weeks its Itchy fucken skin and peeling.

Been there done that, except I was wearing goggles so I had raccoon face for a week. I must've had my mouth open a little bit, too, because the tip of my tongue stung for a while. :1
