Well, let me tell ya, sprayin’ perfume in your eye ain’t nothin’ to sneeze at. It’s a darn silly thing to do, like puttin’ your shoes on the wrong feet! I mean, who in their right mind would do that? But hey, accidents happen, even to the best of us. I remember this one time, my neighbor’s kid, little Timmy, he got into his mama’s perfume and thought it was a squirt gun. Sprayed it right in his peepers! The poor thing was screamin’ like a banshee.
So, what happens when you get that fancy smellin’ stuff in your eye? Well, it ain’t pretty, that’s for sure. First off, it’s gonna burn somethin’ fierce. You know, like when you get chili pepper juice in your eye? Yeah, kinda like that, but maybe a little different. That perfume, it’s got all sorts of stuff in it, alcohol and whatnot, and that ain’t meant for your eyes. It ain’t made for eyeballs, ya hear?
- Your eye might get all red and watery.
- You might not be able to see so good for a while. Everything might look blurry, like when you wake up in the mornin’ and can’t quite focus.
- And if it’s really bad, that perfume could even hurt your eye, like scratch it up or somethin’. Then you’re in real trouble.
Now, if you’re unlucky enough to get perfume in your eye, don’t just stand there like a bump on a log! You gotta do somethin’ quick. The first thing you gotta do is wash it out, and fast! Get yourself to a sink and start flushin’ that eye out with water. Not hot water, mind you, cool water. You don’t wanna cook your eyeball, do ya? Just keep pourin’ that water in your eye for a good long while, like 15 minutes or so. Just keep that water flowin’, like a river.
And if you wear them contact things, get ’em out of there! They’re just gonna hold that perfume against your eye and make it worse. Once you’re done washin’ your eye out, you might wanna put a cold washcloth on it. That’ll help with the burnin’ and the achin’. And for the love of Pete, don’t rub your eye! You’ll just make it madder.
Now, sometimes, just washin’ your eye out ain’t enough. If your eye is still hurtin’ somethin’ awful, or if you can’t see right, you gotta get yourself to a doctor, and fast! Don’t be stubborn, now. Your eyes are important, you only get two of ‘em! Better safe than sorry, I always say. The doctor, he’ll take a look at your eye and make sure nothin’s seriously wrong. He might give you some drops or somethin’ to help it heal. So don’t dilly-dally and get yerself there in a jiffy.
So, let’s all try to keep that perfume where it belongs, on our necks and wrists, not in our eyes. It ain’t worth the pain and trouble. And if you do happen to get some in your eye, don’t panic. Just wash it out good and if it’s bad, go see a doctor. It’s common sense, really. Like don’t stick your finger in a light socket, or you’ll get a shock. Same thing with perfume and your eyes. Just steer clear, folks, just steer clear. You don’t wanna end up blind as a bat, now do ya? And that’s all there is to it. Perfume is for smelling nice, not for eye washin’! Remember that, and you’ll be just fine.
And one more thing, keep that perfume away from the young’uns. They get into everything, you know? Little rascals. Put it up high, where they can’t reach it. It ain’t worth the risk. Trust me on this one. I’ve seen enough in my day to know better.
