Narrative

While opening the Traxol drum a small amount of the contents ""puffed"" from the opening and hit him in the face close to his left eye. He wasn't sure if it got in his eye or not but he flushed out his eye with water. He did not feel any irritation or burning and had no pain, but it was a possible that some got in his eye, so we sent him into the clinic to get checked out.
