Abstract

Gasoline contact may cause significant full-thickness burn injuries. Systemic complications may result from the absorption of hydrocarbons through the skin. Regional neuromuscular absorption may produce transient or even permanent impairment. It is vital that the physician be aware of the possible full-thickness injuries and complications that may result from cutaneous exposure to gasoline.
