minus-square@wildcardology@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•7 months agoIt is fixable with “salt water” he just didn’t know that at the time. That’s why he went to the ER to get checked out.
minus-square@Jax@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•7 months agoSaline, it’s fixed by saline. Saline is salt mixed with distilled water, after about a month you can use it. To your later comment, no your question is not an important one. You can’t figure out that salt/distilled water + a month of waiting ≠ 5000 dollars? Use your head.
