Hi, Kind Of Odd But I Was Exposed To Some
Question: Hi, kind of odd but i was exposed to some home raid ant & roach spray (last night) in a room that wasn't very ventilated and now i felt very nauseous but nothing would come out, coughed a lot right after but not much during the day and have a weird headache. I called poison control and they said i shouldnt be concerned unless i had tremors (which did not happen) but i still want to know if i should wait it out or go to the doctor? The room has been aired out but still has some scent.
Brief Answer:
No need for concern unless additional symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand our concern, however I do not think you need to worry unless you start experiencing other symptoms such as tremors, shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, dizziness, sneezing.
If you experience any of the above, please seek immediate medical attention. Keep your windows open so that the smell clears completely.
I hope this answers your question satisfactorily. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
