Oxygen is an oxidant.

Smb: Your harness is fine! It was a couple of meters away in the open air. Your brother's face was directly above. Unless there is melted nylon I wouldn't worry.

You posted here for reassurance (and to vent about your bro). Instead of reassuring you, people (who may or may not have an intrest in selling climbing gear) had a bit of fun with you and made you worry about nothing. I did the same thing when my house mate smashed a window over my rope. Instead of "donating" it for testing, ended up using it for years after without a hint of "internal abrasions".
