Author Topic: crank case vapour on the tongue (Read 5837 times)

So a month ago I took the breather tube off my 91 Jetta TD and decided to blow out through the "breather valve" thing that sits ontop of the cam cover. At this point it was off the car. I thought I had cleaned the lip of it but some of the residue got onto the tip of my tongue. Well I spit most of it out. Rinsed etc. Well since then this small 8mm patch at the tip of my tongue has been sore and slightly different looking then the rest of my tongue (a little red, swolen). Anybody else ever experince this?

You live in Canada, talk to a doctor would be my recommendation

Has anybody ever gotten used diesel oil on their tongue before?

um... corey & trevor off of trailer park boys... lol i think they were fine after 6-8 days (while being on respirators etc)

1 litre of diesel can contaminate 100's of thousands of litres of water. pretty nasty stuff!! my only suggestion to you is drink lots of distilled water. flush that crap out of your body. by lots of distilled water, maybe 10 litres per day? lemon juice is good at detoxifying too. just don't add sugar... just squeeze the lemon juice into the distilled water. (say at least squeeze lemon juice into one of your glasses of distilled water per day, but not more than 2)

I don't think 10 liters is a good idea. If you drink too much water you will dilute your blood and you can actually die from that

Yeah and considering your own stomach acid is about 100 times stronger than lemon juice I don't know what use lemon juice would be.

lemon juice is a good detoxifier, I don't know how it works exactly but google knows

Since he just got a drop on his tongue, I don't think he has to try to detox his system or flush his system quite that much. :lol:

And since it happened a month ago, I'd be inclined to think "if it ain't fallen off yet, I'm probably OK". :wink:

Anyway, people claim all kinds of stupid *** on the internet. The fact is there is no scientific proof of this working. Just because some fool on the internet starves themselves for 2 weeks and claims a miraculous cure of ailments it really doesn't prove anything.

actually toxins can be stored in fat cells for several years until the fat is burnt.

lol maybe 10 litres is too much, but keeping up fluids is always a good idea when you've got diesel or even gas in your body.

So this guy comes up with this theory 30 years ago. Have there been any studies on this? There are no references anywhere in that article. Also, never believe anything on a website that is trying to sell you something ie: the book that is linked to at the bottom of that page.
