Holy shit. That's pool shock - powdered chlorine!?!? She may not have vision or smooth breathing anymore... For a variety of reasons (gravel, plastic, lack of eye protection... and concentrated chlorine).

Yeah. That's not Mentos and Coca-Cola. That's sodium hypochlorite and that's going to be very caustic. That's hot bleach exploded into her face.

Concentrated hot bleach, like 30X the strength of laundry bleach kind of strong chemical.

If she didn't get that rinsed nearly immediately she's gonna be blind, with chemical burns.... at best.... she literally may have made an actual explosion with that chemical reaction and could have just shrapnel'd her whole body on top of it.

An explosion she absolutely made, for an explosion is the rapid going away of things from where they've been.
