Nurse should check the respiratory rate first.

Kerosene ingestion can lead to damage of lungs directly, aspiration pneumonia, rapid breathing, gasping, vomiting, and persistent coughing.

<h3>How does kerosene damage humans?</h3>

There are no conclusive ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) data for kerosene because it is a chemical mixture. Kerosene is thought to be eliminated from circulation by the liver and lungs.

By inhaling liquid (aspiration), one of the main exposure routes, one is exposed. Kerosene spray applications can cause pulmonary irritation symptoms including coughing and dyspnea. Kerosene vapors can be somewhat irritating to the respiratory system. Although local irritation could arise from acute dermal exposure, it is not thought to be a skin sensitizer. Kerosene exposure may have CNS side effects such as agitation, restlessness, ataxia, sleepiness, convulsions, coma, and even death.
