What Causes Vomiting And Sickness Post Wood Finishing?
Question: I was sanding old varnish and sanding with goof off and now I feel sick with vomiting. Any remedy without seeing doctor
Brief Answer:
Wash off , OTC anti emetics
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Firstly, you should remove the clothes that were in contact snd wash yourself with lukewarm water. A few drops of antiseptic solution like povidone or dettol may also be added to the water. These are directed at minimizing any further exposure. You may take over the counter anti emetics. These may include domeperidone or metoclopramide depending on your place. If the nausea persists despite the medication then you should go to a hospital near you to assess you more thoroughly and advise accordingly.
Wishing you best of health
