Can Inhalation Of Gasoline Fumes Cause Nose Bleed?

Im a truck driver that delivers gasoline. The past few days ive been pumping out some gasoline directly over it. 3 days..my 1st day my nose started bleeding..2nd day it didn't bleed but i was a lil more cautious and taking breaks in between. Tonight i was pumping out the tank again i didnt get a nose bleed but on my drive i was having a funny taste in my mouth. Like blood...once i got home and showered my nose started bleeding again like 3hrs later.. can inhalation of gasoline cause my nose to bleed or is this due to something else?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query .As you mention you had nose bleeding after inhalation of gasoline fumes.Well yes gasoline fumes can cause nose bleeding along with some other problems like breathing difficulty ,burns,low blood pressure and collapse .

This is extremely dangerous situation and you should immediately visit doctor as an emergency .For now what you can do is drink lot of water to decrease the poising effect and take some fresh air.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
