Oil in the body

[MF7618]

Squirted a small amount of oil under the skin 10/40w whilst spraying a machine for winter service,finger is sore but not unbearable. Question is it worth getting check out tonight and run the risk of spending the night and day in hospital and run the risk of not spending tomorrow with the kids, or risk it till boxing day.

It's only paraffin / naptha, can't see it doing much harm.

What's the doctor going to do, amputate the finger? Give you a total blood transfusion

Oops thought you said WD40 not 10w40 ask the docs

Sorry, wise precaution to go to A & E or at least ring NHS direct. I think you might get gangene, not sure what can be done though.

Oil under skin is very dangerous you will get blood poisoning sorry to say but get to A&E ASAP!

aye he is brown bread,nice knowing ye 7618 dude never mind another model will be along soon to replace you.but wont be a patch on the auld model

 

[MickMoor]

Get yourself there ASAP. It's too risky; oil doesn't mix with water, so won't mix with blood. At least, as an earlier reply said, ring NHS direct.

Croc dundee would suck the poison out or maybe that was someone else ray mears?

my relative got oil in his thumb a while ago from a pinhole in a hydraulic hose .It took several operations to remove the oil and dead flesh .and now only part off his thumb remains-yet it seemed so minor when he did it-in fact we only realised the consequences when a neighbour told us just how dangerous it can be.

by the way local hospital is shut as its crimbo if you want to die,week days are best.

At our H&S presentation they were adamant that you had to go to A&E straight after the incident. As they put it, the longer you delay, the more they have to cut off!!

They open up the affected part and wash it out with an oil solvent which is compatible with body tissue.
