Muriatic acid is concentrated hydrochloric acid. The odor of the fumes should have en sufficient warning for you to read the warning label. To be safe, go to the emergency room, after thoroughly washing your knees and getting rid of the pants you were wearing.

Go to your doctor or hospital emergency room right now. You have acid burns.
