Splashed gasoline and it got on my skin and clothes(will it hurt liver?)

Hi everybody.  I was pumping gas today and leaning against my car while I was doing it.  The gas splashed out and got on my butt (I was was wearing shorts -  :)  )   It was really strong smelling.  When I got home, I through the shorts and my underpants into the washer.  And changed into clean clothes.  The gas smell was so strong that after I washed this stuff, it still stunk like gas.  So, I had to wash it again.  Will being exposed to gasoline hurt your liver?

You are correct this is very old. I wrote this 9 years ago, back when I wasn't quite as an experienced long time hepper!

This is a very old thread but I can tell you that I worked as an auto technician for 20 years and also pumped gas while young. I got gasoline and oil on my skin almost every day and the only affect it had was to help age the skin on my hands.

After all you've been through - and now this problem.  Sounds like your car has gastro-reflux issues.

On the Procrit, I take a 1/2 a vial on each day.  It's a normal dose, but split in two.  I was having too many extra sides from the full dose of Procrit all at once, so Dr. had me split it. Most people don't get many sides from Procrit, but I managed to.
Oh well, that's life in the big city!

Sorry about thae gasoline spill on your clothes, gosh that is annoying. Did you talk to the manager of the store.
That is an issue with the pump, and they should gladly pay for your dry cleaning, or replacement of clothing.

I hope you are feeling well these days  :)

Hey to both of you!!

Doglover: I do understand that "panicky feeling" I think alot of people (including doc) thought I needed something for depression, which really was not the case. It was depression in the true sense of the word, it was a "on edge, jump out of my skin, I hate everybody, dont stand so close to me, feeling.
Gosh I guess that could be called depression, but doc tried me on zoloft and that was too "out there" I am very medication sensitive, even cold tablets will get me acting like a kook!!
So doc changed me over to klonipin,...and hey they work great, they are used for panic attacks as well.
Now that is not to say that sometimes I feel a normal depression due to "whats going on" but doc sai to try this, and if it didnt do the job, then maybe some valium, (I dont like the way valium makes me feel, (real spacey-like)

Can-do: My Man!!!!!!
:) :) ;)

You have always been so good to me, really a better friend than I prolly deserve right now, but I sure do appreciate you always noticing my posts, and always putting a smile on mu face.
You are one of those rare people,...I suspect you prolly hear that from your wife too, or anybody that really knows you.
your friend, lilmoma

Tracy, I saw it to on the news and was wondering who that was.  The news said it was someone crossing the border, near the desert and he was trying to blend in with the sand.  Had know idea it was can do man.   Heard the minute men are hot on his trail.

"Authorities said the man had apparently scaled an 8-foot tall fence while naked and covered in nacho cheese and was seen running toward a Jeep in which officers found clothing and an open bottle of vodka."

See. i told you..  that bottle of vodka doesn't fit your MO...but the cheese thing. hmmm.

personally i try to avoid open flames when naked so the kitchen doesn't appeal to me that much. but cheese can be exported to other parts of the house...
