So I inhaled some Raid today... last modified: Saturday, September 24, 2005 (10:30:38 PM) So today I was at my boyfriends place because I was taking care of the bunny. My boyfriend went to Aruba with one of our close friends to cheer him on in a poker tournament. The trip was free so I pushed him to go, but I didn't think I'd be so incompetant by myself...I was taking care of the bunny so I was scooping the poop and playing with him and I see a bug flying around. Well when my boyfriend is home, he takes the raid and sprays it and the bug dies, me being the idiot I am I spray the bug when its really close and I inhale.
Oh great...I inhaled...I'm thinking to myself that it's not that big of a deal. WRONG If you swallow it, get it touching your skin, in your eyes, or if you inhale you're in trouble... The directions said CAUTION: ...If inhaled: Move person to fresh air imediately, if they stop breathing call 911. So here I am in a room by myself with a bunny panicking. Do I call 911, do I go home, and I was feeling drowsy afterwards. So finally I call my mom, she tells me to go to my apt. I stay around my roommates for a while a couple hours go by and im fine. It's now been about 6 hours so I think I'm okay but I had a pretty not so good day. ~Katie
The first and most important thing I learned in college is that, if you want to kill ants, Grant''s Ant Stakes are the best ones to do the trick. I''ve breathed in Raid before...it''s just as delicious as paint chips...
I''d imagine that inhale Raid is about equivelent to sniffing paint--not a good thing, but given your age and the amount that you inhaled, you''re not going to die. It might make you sick, though, so if you feel weird over the next couple of days, go to the doctor. You might want to try visiting Poison Control''s website or calling them for advise. http://www.1-800-222-1222.info/FAQs/home.asp
So my first thought when I read the title was: was it on a bet? Geez! Glad you''re doing okay! Go out and breathe a bunch of fresh air for an hour or so. Next time use a fly swatter! Less deadly for you! ~_^ |
