Well one Tristan is not the brightest because he didn’t wear any safety gloves while handling chemicals, two he was probably not listening to his teacher because he was messing around and ended up spilling the chemicals on his hands so immediately if the chemicals start to burn his hands he should wash his hands to get rid of the chemicals before it starts to get inside of his body and ultimately have nubs for hands. Don’t be like Tristan
