What To Do If Aerosol Insecticide Splashes Into Your Eyes?

Oct 18, 2025

1. Immediately rinse your eyes with clean water. Use running warm water to rinse continuously for at least 15 minutes. This helps dilute and wash away any residual pesticide, preventing it from penetrating deeper into the eye tissue.

 

2. Avoid rubbing your eyes while rinsing, as this may cause the chemicals to penetrate further into the eye tissue.

 

3. If you still experience discomfort in your eyes after rinsing, seek medical attention promptly. When seeking medical attention, it is best to bring the pesticide packaging or label so that the doctor can understand the ingredients and provide a more accurate treatment plan.

 

4. If you experience severe symptoms such as blurred vision, intense pain, redness, or swelling, go to the emergency room as soon as possible.
