Is Physical Exposure To Gasoline A Cause For Concern?

I accidentally spilled a lot of gasoline on me while trying to fill my car up today and I want to know if I need to get checked out or not. I had to drive home which is a 15 minutes drive, both of my front windows were down for ventilation but so much was on me that I was still breathing it in. I got home feeling mellow, dizzy, and I m starting to experience nausea. I have stomach pains every now and then but nothing severe. Should I be alright and just keep track of my symptoms or should I go to urgent care? Thank you.

Hello,

Aaccidental liquid exposure can harm your skin.

Direct inhalation can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

So, based on the symptoms I suggest you to go at the emergency room for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
