so how bad is this

[IROCdan330]

I was installin my sway bars today with nohting else to do (waiting on a brake line)...the front end links had some rust on em...and that mixed with an impact wrench made lots of it fall into the air. i had glasses on so it didnt get in my eyes...but i breathed it in i think...im wonderin how bad that is.

how much did you get in your eyes/breathe in?

Number 1 rule : ALWAYS wear eye protection!

if it was just a little bit, you should be OK. I'd flush my eyes out with water just to be on the safe side.

If you breathed in a considerable amount, I might go see a doctor. No telling what that stuff can do.

uhh go get that checked man... my pops got a really small piece of metal in his eye once and it started rusting and what not...almost lost the eye....he had to get surgery for it.....so any metal inside you, you'd wanna get it removed.....if it bothers you when you breathe go get x-rays or something dude

I breath that crap in all the time....it sucks. Nothing bad has happened yet so I think you'll be okay. just be glad you didnt get any in your eye, that really sucks!

Just drink a bunch of water the next few days, you'll be fine.

rust in the eye sucks...specially when ya look in the bathroom mirror and see the piece of rust firmly embedded millimeters from the cornea :shock:
