Specializes in Family Medicine

SCLE is known to be: A photosensitive dermatosis; so your pcp may be able to rx uv-protective film for home/car or should be willing to refer u to occupational health. Insurance may require proof that u use car for your work other than going to it & back. Check with insurance co. If they will cover the cost & from whom the rx must come as well as other requirements.

I had a gasoline can inside my car today that leaked. The fumes were very strong and I quickly rolled down my windows. Will this brief but powerfully strong smelling exposure cause permanent lung, heart or other damage to my health? Why or why not?
