What Are The Repercussions Of Spilling Kerosene Oil On The Body?
Question: I accidentally broke an oil lamp about an hour ago. Some of the kerosene got on the front of my dress. I got busy cleaning up the broken glass, and getting items into washer that also got kerosene on it. I just realized a few mins ago that my lower left abdomen is tingling. I went into bathroom, removed my dress, and realized kerosene got on my underwear, and skin. I've washed it off, but it is still tingling. Is this ok?
Brief Answer:
No worries
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Kerosene oil can give this tingling to skin but there is nothing to worry about. All you need is a bath, change of clothes and and good ventilated room to get rid of the kerosene smell. Thats it. No harm done by kerosene.
I hope it helps . Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
