Posted on Fri, 24 Apr 2020
Question: I sprayed an plastic container of chicken with lysol multi surface spray and then ate 1 piece after heating in the oven. I realized the bag had holes now so I drank 1.5 gallon of water and ate other food. This was about 2 hours ago. I now have a slight headache and my upper middle back feels sore. . Should I go to ER?

Brief Answer:
Though this much shouldn't cause significant poisoning but be watchful

Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

Ingestion of lysol spray can cause a corrosive poisoning.
The poisoning with such insecticides depend on the brand ingested,amount ingested and body weight of the individual.
This is the reason for significant poisoning in children.
Usual symptoms of poisoning includes nausea,vomiting,breathlessness,abdominal colic,irritability,palpitations,perspiration etc.

As per your nerration,it is very unlikely that you had a significant ingestion to cause an impact on your body.

Keep yourself well hydrated and ingest more and more water to dilute the effects of the lysol.

If the symptoms do not improve,visit an ER for further evaluation and management.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
