B) is the way to go, no question. Flushing that stuff off is key. Although, I'd probably also start singing 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head' while I'm at it, just to lighten the mood.

B) Thoroughly flush with water, no doubt about it. Gotta neutralize that hazard before anything else. Although I do wonder if the emergency department has a nice foot bath I could use...
