You swallowed it? :confused: Say your prayers, it's going to be a long and painful death.




You'll be fine, just don't make a habit out of it. :D

I think the carcinogens are in the lubricants and all carcinogens require long-term repetitve exposure. You'll be fine.

The deadly ingedient in the fuel is the methanol, the wood alcohol. In itself, methanol is not poisonous, but the enzymes in your liver breaks it down into two VERY toxic chemicals - formaldahyde and formic acid. The amoun that would get in your mouth will not kill you.

But yeah . . . . don't use your mouth. If you really must vaccum something, use your fuel bottle. :D

You might die if you accidently now swallow a primer cord and then light a cigar and the cord ignites leading to the inevitable chain reaction...

im sorry to say but cancerogens are not worst problem methanol is very poisonous, 13 grams are enaugh to make a person blind and more will kill, but it depends on person, try not to do it too often and if your reading it now youll be ok later :D

That happened at a race I was attending. Some guy mistakenly picked up his bottle of Blue Thunder thinking it was his Powerade and took a big 'ol swig. His face got all red and sweaty and he sort of stumbled to the ground. We called the paramedics and an ambulance raced out to care for him. He continued with the rest of the weekend just fine, but I'm sure he'll never make that mistake again!

Only in concentrated inhalation.

Oh. And in California. Everything is deadly and carcinogenic in California.

"This product is known to the state of California of causing cancer" :)

hah ... that is wierd though ... i wonder what the story behind that is ... why would california's testing not be valid for the entire U.S.?

This has come up many times and it's all about product liability, if there's even a hint of a chance that some chemical in your product causes cancer and you don't have that proudly announced on on the label, you can get sued. But you can get sued for anything in Cali so it hardly matters.

Guess I'm doomed lol. I'm in California, and that sterotype is completely true :D If all the products that say they cause cancer actually produced dramatic affects, then california should have ceased to exist by now...

I didn't do anything about it but i'm fine. Just have to take it more seriously that this stuff is actually gas... haha.
