Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Nausea, Heart Racing, Spinning Of Head And Sickness After Encounter With Burnt Plastic Smoke. Is It Plastic Poisoning?
I put a plastic bowl with cookies in the oven to store to keep soft instead of putting in the fridge to get hard. I forgot the next day and heated up the oven and it starts smoking. I turned off the oven and got what I could of the melted plastic out. The. Went ahead and turned on the oven to cook. It was still a little smoky so I kept a fan directing smoke out. The plastic is burnt out now. I keep cooking in the oven. My son does not eat with us much but he has eaten two times with us when I have baked my food since the melting incident. Each time he has gotten sick. Heart racing, nausea, head spinning etc. he eats with us other times too when I cook stove top or microwave and he does not get sick. Me and my husband don t get sick when I bake. Is my son getting plastic poisoning? Is he just sensitive to the plastic where we are not? I am concerned.
As per the history posted here it does not appear to be poisoning due to food being cooked in the same oven,please take your son to a physician and get him throughly examined.
Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
