Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi all, There was some kind of discussion not long ago about gasoline fumes with 4 wheelers. I did not comment too much because those kind of fumes have not given me a whole lot of trouble until TODAY! I work in a gas station/convenience store...kind of an assistant manager...definitely senior cashier LOL! Anyways, we are in Arizona and run our swamp coolers year round here, depending on what is going on, and where you are at. At the store I work in, the coke coolers and beer coolers put off so much heat, that we are warm in the frigid temps we get here in the winter, and in the fall, spring, and summer we run the swamp coolers so the candy bars do not melt. Today it was down to 24 degrees this morning, so I did not bother with the swamp cooler at all....a customer came in and filled up two five gallon gas cans and it sprayed all over himself, his truck...it was very strong gas smell. When he came in to pay for it he reeked of gasoline...it was strong and there was no movement of air at the time. He was older with hearing aid, so I was trying hard to smile and cheer him up as he was paying for it, but the gas fumes got to me, and as soon as he left I had to get my rescue inhaler. It was BAD. So there is something to gasoline fumes and asthma. Not a whole lot makes me reach for my rescue other than the normal time I do it every morning.....but this one did!!!! So yes in given circumstances gasoline fumes with not ventilation can bring on an attack. hugs, Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
