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.

i was changing a  fuel filter on a car today... when i took the line off like a a quart of gas splashed in my eyes mouth and hair.. im black with braids by the way....so i wobble into the house blind because of course  i couldn't see i rinsed my eyes then washed my hair real quick and went back out to finish the job....i don't know how many people who've ever had that happen to them but i can tell you from experience, it burns like hell and i am not talking bout my eyes im talking bout my face. it was like some one threw liquid fire on me or something, but im okay now only thing im worried about is my vision or my hair falling out but nothings happened so far so

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!

I think you be all right only one time. gas is a solvent.It would take a lot of exposier over a period of time to find it's way to the liver

Don't think one time is going to hurt you although as stated, stay away from fumes over a long term such as cleaners and soforth.  My Rog pumps my gas for me and does the cleaning that requires any comet or mildew remover.

Sorry I had to cancel the pool party today....weather is atrocious!  Flooding, raining, lighting, thundering, dark and just plain UGLY! Surprised I still have internet service!  Guess I'll head to the bed, good day for it....

Happy memorial day.

I am done giving hubby shots (sigh)
He does his last shot this friday (I am sooooo jealous!)
I only gave him his procrit shots, and he's done with that.
Yeah,....I have all his left-over procrits!!!!
My doc told me my numbers looked so good that he wanted to take me off procrit,....but ya know,....do I, should I, ..have to go through all that again? I mean why take a chance having my hgb go back into the toilet, and it takes so long before the procrit starts working, ya know, not to mention the pure misery of what a person goes through.
So, I just have been calling it in anyway, and they deliver it, so I am getting a nice stash in case I need some.
I got some warming up on the counter now, I am doing it every other week, so far, so good.
If I have left over when Im done,...then maybe somebody here at the forum will need a helping hand one day,....it wont be wasted, and that is why I pay such huge premiums every months anyway right?

Hi there. I finally got the gas smell out after the second washing, without exploding my washer or dryer.  I had tried to rinse out as much as I could before I put it in the washer, but it had still smelled like gas after running through the 1st cycle.  I don't know why the gas splashes back like that when the nozzle is still in the car.  

Well, I hope everybody has a good Memorial Day today.  I'm just doing my usual, resting.
