Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Sorry to hear about this. Where was this injury, was it at work? He needs to have this incident reported as he now has pulmonary pneumonitis and safety measures need to be implemented to safeguard others and provide better practices. At the very least he needs to consult the poison control and also look at the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) on instructions moving forward.
I hope this answers your question. Good luck and feel free to direct any more questions to me.
