Urgent help needed
Discussion
seriously it is a hospital job, a mechanic died from drinking diesel 2-3 years ago as he swallowed a bit trying to start a syphon.
making yourself sick oddly isn't recommended for most poisons etc, so call NHS direct, then get yourself to hospital.
getting some in your mouth obviously isn't as dangerous as actually swallowing it.
