What Are The Repercussions Of Accidental Ingestion Of Dettol And Hand Wash Liquid?
Question: water drinking bottle washed with detol hand wash liquid soap and filled with water consumed with vodka by mistake. I must have consumed approx. 300 ml of this water mixed with 90 ml of vodka.
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry, however routine and timely follow-up to continue..
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dinariya, Welcome to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,
Well, since your certain that there's only Vodka in that bottle mixed with water so you don't need to worry.. (i believe you meant that the dettol hand wash was thoroughly washed off under running water as a part of cleaning only)..
I hope your not taking any particular medicine on daily basis for any particular reasons (but if you do, then please let me know in details of the medications and the reasons for which your taking them)..
No need to take any more antacid also, just drink plenty of water ( 1-1.5 ltr gradually over a period of next few hours), and simply rest.. don't engage in to any physical activity, don't try to drive any vehicle.. the only possible aftereffect will be little bit of dizziness, sleepiness, if you feel so just rest, and put an extra pillow/bigger pillow under the head and relax..
Once again, drink plenty of water gradually..
If any further doubts, please let me know, i'll be glad to clarify further..
Take Care
Kind Regards
