A 42-year-old man was hospitalized overnight after suffering chemical burns during Pesach cleaning in Bnei Brak, emergency responders said.
Medical teams from United Hatzalah were called to Rechov HaRav Shach, where they provided initial treatment to the man, who was injured after being exposed to a strong cleaning substance.
According to responders, the man sustained burns to his face from sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda. United Hatzalah medics Moishy Kreiser, Meilech Henig, and Manny Streicher, who treated the victim, said family members reported that the incident occurred while he was cleaning the home ahead of Pesach, when the substance suddenly splashed onto his face, causing a chemical burn.
Emergency personnel treated him at the scene before transporting him urgently by ambulance to Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer. His condition was listed as moderate.
United Hatzalah’s spokesperson unit urged the public to exercise caution when using hazardous cleaning materials, warning that improper handling can lead to serious burns or respiratory issues. They emphasized that following basic safety guidelines can help prevent severe injuries and unnecessary tragedies.
