I drank accidentally something about 10ml heptan with tea. Spash some while adding to bottle.
I feel little.. Bad
Any tips?
I prefer not to calling to 112..
 
According to the MSDS you should rinse your mouth out thoroughly. DO NOT induce vomiting. Get some rest. Call for medical attention immediately if symptoms worsen. This is in reference to heptane. You wrote heptan, though. Did you mean Heptane?

"Ingestion: Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward."

that is a direct quote from the msds
 
Yes, heptane, i write it in polish.

i use heptane purity 99.9% for lab analiz.

I drink somethink about 1.5L water immediately after sensing solvent

I have cold sweats, very slight abdominal pain, headache and a slight tingling fingers.
that's very bad?
 
Hmm, well I am not a doctor but if you are not feeling well I would highly recommend getting yourself checked out. Or at least call the Polish version of "Poison Control"

Heptane is a powerful/dangerous chemical. It is better to be safe than sorry, correct?

Seek medical help, immediately. Get someone who can drive you to the hospital, or consider calling for an ambulance.

10 mL is not a lot, but if you feel bad, it is not worth running the risk.

I will wait 10 maybe 15 min, if things goes worst, i will calling medical assistance.

for now, caught me slightly drowsy and heavy eyes, but cold sweats and abdominal pain passed away.
 
There's no harm in going to get checked out by a doctor. With something so toxic it's better to err on the side of caution. It's not worth your health!
 
uhh.. its a difficult.

I lay down with the idea, I will call for the ambulance in 5 minutes. just after stop a headache.

I fell asleep, and I had a hellish morning headache, but now, its much better. Never again hold a cup of tea at the workplace..

thank You all for Your presence at night

^^^That is definitely a good idea. Stay safe, Gardenic
 
I know, I always follow the safety rules.

This time, a small mistake, a little rashness in action and light inattention, and disaster ready.

I had already phone in hand, with the thought, I will call in just a moment, right now, and then "cut off' myself completely.

Now I know, that even of a "small carelessness" could end up very badly.

LISTEN TO THIS MAN! Seek medical evaluation and assistance as soon as possible after taking a toxin into your body. Drinking high-potency petrochemical solvent is just not something to ignore.

P.S... I hope you're feeling better, and that this passes with nothing but a lesson learned remaining. Be well, and take care of yourself.

We all deserve health, and we all deserve happiness. <3
