Brief Answer:
Please visit hospital immediately with a family member or close friend

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in.

I have read through your query in detail.
You must go to hospital immediately and take necessary first aid and treatment for accidental consumption of mosquito repellent fluids.

Till you reach hospital please drink lots of water and juices and this will help flush out harmful chemicals through the kidneys. Also eat deep roasted bread slices so that it will delay the absorption of the poison. Inform a family member or close friend and go to hospital with their help. You need to be kept under observation for 48 hours. Any difficulty in breathing must be reported immediately.

It is possible that you drank a little amount and it must have passes down your throat and stomach. If the amount is less or if there was food in the stomach then its absorption is delayed and vomiting might not occur.

However, it is very toxic and can enter blood circulation and reach the heart, brain and intestines to cause serious health problems after few days. Please visit your nearest hospital and take emergency treatment after informing in details about your consumption of mosquito repellents.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
