Anyone is at risk of finding themselves in a difficult situation, but the question is how we react then. Panic, doing things the wrong way, misjudging the situation… all can make things worse, even endangering lives. And this often happens when we do not equip ourselves with enough knowledge.
Here are a few facts that may not be known to many of us, but are really necessary and can potentially save your or someone else’s life.
Remember, absolutely avoid using the same type of detergent together at the same time, especially when it comes to bleach. Because if you accidentally use bleach with ammonia-based chemicals inside, you will accidentally create chloramine – a toxic gas, which can cause many serious health complications.
And you know where ammonia can come from? It is inside the glass cleaners that they are extremely popular.
Of course, it’s still best not to let this situation happen. But in life no one knows the word doubt, if one day you or someone forget the oil pan on the stove and start a fire, at this time do not be foolish to put out the fire with water.
Basically, the boiling point of oil is higher than that of water, which means that in a situation where the oil is on fire, the temperature will be very high. Water on contact will immediately ignite, causing a sharp increase in pressure and can even cause an explosion and make the fire bigger.
In such a situation, it is best to use a fire extinguisher, or cover it with baking soda, or turn it upside down. All three methods above prevent oxygen from reaching the flame and causing it to go out.
Unlike in the movies, a person drowning in actual water doesn’t look like they’re in trouble at all. They couldn’t struggle too hard, nor could they scream because water got into their mouths.
For a person who is drowning, they just do everything they can to keep their head up, and that brief moment is usually just enough to take a breath of air and then… sink again.
So in reality, notice if a person keeps sinking and floating, hair falling out in front of face, eyes can’t focus and movement is somewhat slow and difficult, then this person is most likely in trouble. tangled.
Everyone is the same, at least once on the bar (swinging). You never know what kind of situation you will fall into: slip off the cliff, slide off the railing… If you can hold onto something, you must be strong enough to swing yourself up.
Many people still believe that people can do extraordinary things in dangerous situations with the help of adrenaline. However, in reality, this hormone is not divine. Although it helps you focus more, but if you can’t normally swing yourself on the bar even once, there’s no guarantee you’ll do it in times of danger.
The first thing you need to say when calling the police or ambulance is your location, not the reason for calling.
If the situation is so dangerous that the call can be dropped at any time, it is better to let the authorities know your address, so they can send someone to check.
If you touch electrical appliances with your hands or fingers and unfortunately the electricity is open, it is very dangerous. The current can cause your hand to clench, unable to let go.
So the golden rule here is: touch with the back of your hand. Even if the item has an electrical leak, you can still easily retract your hand afterwards.
Remember, whenever you jump from above and refuel with your feet, cover your nose. The reason is that this jump angle will cause water to push directly into the brain, while the water can contain very dangerous bacteria and amoeba, causing death in almost 100% of cases. And if you swallow them… it’s okay, or at least less dangerous.
