Gas Syphoning: Said Dangerous
I sing your mouth when
sy pluming gasoline is extremely
dangerous and can he fatal, the
Texas Medical Association
ii arils
Gasoline is a poison which
acts as an irritant in the
digestin' tract In the lungs,
however, it is most often fatal.
Relatively small amounts of
gasoline in the stomach will
cause pain and discomfort,
irritate the digestive tract and
can cause ulceration and other
complications However,
should a person who has
swallowed even a small
quantity of gasoline vomit,
there is extreme danger of some
ol the gasoline entering the
lungs
Tivt'ii one or two drops of
gasoline in the lungs can he
lalal. The gasoline causes
chemical pneumonitis (new-
mo-night usi. a condition caus
sing permanent damage to the
lungs and frequently leading to
death.
Recent deaths in the ITS
have been reported as the result
of syphoning gas by mouth
With today’s gasoline shortages
there is the dangerous potential
for more of these deaths
If you do swallow gasoline or
discover someone who has, do
not induce vomiting Keep the
person calm and get them to
medical care as fast as possible
Bill remember do not induce
vomiting Gasoline is a pain m
Ihe stomach, hu! a killer in the
lungs
Maybe you never
thought of us this
way before.
