I used WD 40 as lubricant Help!!!?

Question

I couldn't find anything else to use so i just grabbed some wd 40. Its really burning me.

I rinsed with water and had a shower but its still burning.

What should i do? i dont wanna go to the doctor since that would be really embarrassing. Will this cause permanent damage to me?

Answer 1

The safety data sheet for WD-40 says that you should go to a doctor if irritation continues after rinsing with warm water.

Exact words are "SKIN CONTACT Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing"

Now Personally - I would try some anti-itch medication such as Aveno cream for anti-itch. If that doesn't work or if you need more relief maybe some neosporin plus pain relief. I use both of these for many "unmentionable itches and rashes".

Another suggestion is to take a long (30+minutes) oatmeal bath. You can get the oatmeal next to the bubble bath in stores. This is used for many skin irritations.

Good luck!

your having a laugh right??????!!!!!!!!"

er........................ read the label it will give you advise if this is a serious question

Answer 3

Wow, are you serious?  WD40 is for squeaky hinges and the like.

Answer 4

Umm.... in all honesty, this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of someone doing.

It could cause permanent damage. You have to be careful of things like that, you could wind up with infections from the chemicals, you could wind up with an infection if there were germs on the bottle from other people handling it.  I would say suck up your pride and go to the doctor. I'm sure the nurses in the ER could use a good laugh.

Answer 5

Uh. Is there a warning label on the bottle? It might tell you what to do if it comes in contact with your skin.

Answer 6

I have heard of some stupid things but this one really takes the cake.

Ice. And leave it there until you cannot handle it anymore. I mean hours. You are going to have to suffer for this one. If you treat it with ice until tomorrow it should be right.

Answer 7

That is really too bad and disgusting to say the least LMAO
