    1) Kerosin and benzol are common domestic and industrial poisons that can cause poisoning through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. 2) Acute exposure can cause respiratory symptoms like coughing and dyspnea as well as central nervous system issues like tremors and convulsions. Chronic exposure may lead to headaches, loss of appetite, and anemia. 3) Treatment for kerosin poisoning includes avoiding induced vomiting and use of endotracheal tubes if comatose. For benzol, activated charcoal can be given but risk of aspiration must be considered, and convulsions controlled without using ephedrine. Repeated blood transfusions may be needed to treat

    In kerosin
    -No induction of vomiting
    -No GL except if comatosed+use of endotracheal tube
    -DoNOT use mineral oil or olive oil to increase viscosity if
    aspired ==lipoid pneumonia =use MG or Sodium
    sulphate or citrate as cathartic
    -Steroid &antibiotics shouldn't be used for routine
    prophylaxis =only used if there is specific indication

    Regading Benzine
    -yes GL with charcoal but careful to avoid aspiration
    -control convulsions
    -not give Ephedrine ==induce ventricular fibrillation
    -Anemia ==tt by repeated blood transfusion
