i made a foolish accident today, while putting screen wash into the car, i accidently put it into the radiator tank... the engine was off so it didnt go into the engine, so i decided to empty the screen wash out.
using a piece of hose pipe, i sucked the fluid out to make a vacum.... but i swollowed a mouth full of screen wash , anti-freeze and water...
i am now feeling sick. and im concerned that it may be due to this stupid accident.

Ummm, yeah!! I don't know the "if accidentally swallowed" instructions for antifreeze and screenwash, so check before you drink a lot of water or milk or before you induce vomitting. I'd be checking though. (And no big macs until you feel better!!)

Shouldn't you go to the A&E? I think you should go to an Urgent Care centre anyway. idk about humans, but dogs have died from drinking anti-freeze. Of course, idk how much they drank, but I think you should seek some form of help anyway. In fact maybe ring NHS Direct on 0845 4647 and see what they say.

I certainly agree with Silver Queen and would seek professional advise immediately. like the poison control center or perhaps there is a number on the bottle of screen wash that would give instructions or a number to phone in case of accidental ingestion. better to be safe than terribly sick or worse. Hope this accident ends up not being too bad on your body and health. please seek help from a pro.

Let us know how you are doing please-kk101

Glad to hear that you are ok and made it throught the night. I understand the worry of bothering the hospital, yet if you need to go that is what they are there for. Hope feeling even better today. Get well soon and hang in there.
