He attempted to wash the splashed chemicals off his pants. Later, on two trips to hospital, he received topical treatment. He then was unable to walk, and was transported to a burn unit, with a methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. He was further hospitalized for nearly a week.
