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?

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!

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.
