    Talk about random...

    This evening I was walking across Greythorn Rd towards my Disco when simultaneously a BMW X5 went past and washed its windscreen. I was in the line of fire and the wipers flicked it off all over my shirt and face and directly into my eyes.

    Now I have no idea what BMW are putting in their washer fluid but it stung my eyes to absolute hell for about 40 minutes. It has a very strong aromatics smell, like kerosene or mineral turpentine. Eyes are still as red as hell.

    Guess it's one of those bizarre well timed coincidences

    Surely it's just a bit of detergent.

    Did you rub your eyes by any chance?

    They may have one of the bug removers fluids in the wash. Some of them have warnings about getting the fluid into your eyes because of its composition. If it has to get mangled insects of your windscreen it needs to be potent.

    I didn't rub my eyes, just stumbled over to the Disco and flushed them with a few tubes of saline soln.

    Looks like the "Genuine Land Rover" first aid kit I "bought" without lodging any form of payment just paid for itself.
