Suggest Treatment For Accidental Inhalation Of Gasoline Fumes
Question: I was pumping gasoline and after pumping it took a paper towel and wiped my hands. The paper towel was totally dry after I wiped it and then went into my car and wet the towel and wiped my hands. Then I put my finger in my nose. I didn't smell any gasoline on my finger and as I said the towel was totally dry after I wiped my hands after pumping the gas. Do you think putting my finger in my nose could harm me?
