Formaldehyde poisoning is a condition caused by exposure to high levels of formaldehyde, a colorless, flammable gas with a strong odor. Formaldehyde is used in many products, including building materials, furniture, and household products. Exposure to high levels of formaldehyde can cause a range of symptoms, including eye, nose, and throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, and skin rashes. Long-term exposure can lead to more serious health problems, such as cancer.

Symptoms of formaldehyde poisoning may include:

- Eye, nose, and throat irritation
- Coughing
- Wheezing
- Chest tightness
- Skin Irritation or rash
- Headache
- Nausea
- Difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Memory loss
- Confusion
- Numbness or Tingling in the hands and feet
- Unconsciousness

Formaldehyde poisoning can be caused by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact with formaldehyde. Inhalation of formaldehyde can occur when formaldehyde is used in manufacturing processes, when it is used as a preservative in some consumer products, or when it is released from burning wood, kerosene, or natural gas. Ingestion of formaldehyde can occur when it is used as a preservative in some foods or when it is accidentally ingested. Skin contact with formaldehyde can occur when it is used in some cosmetics, when it is used as a preservative in some consumer products, or when it is used in manufacturing processes.

1. Remove the source of formaldehyde exposure.
2. Increase ventilation in the area.
3. Wear protective clothing and respirators when exposed to formaldehyde.
4. Use air purifiers to reduce formaldehyde levels in the air.
5. Drink plenty of fluids to help flush out the formaldehyde from the body.
6. Take medications to reduce symptoms such as antihistamines, bronchodilators, and corticosteroids.
7. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

1. Exposure to formaldehyde in the workplace: Formaldehyde is a common chemical used in many industries, including manufacturing, construction, and medical laboratories. Workers in these industries may be exposed to formaldehyde through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion.

2. Exposure to formaldehyde in the home: Formaldehyde is commonly found in many household products, such as glues, paints, and furniture. People may be exposed to formaldehyde through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion.

3. Smoking: Cigarette smoke contains formaldehyde, and people who smoke are at an increased risk of formaldehyde poisoning.

4. Poor ventilation: Poor ventilation can increase the concentration of formaldehyde in the air, leading to an increased risk of formaldehyde poisoning.

5. Age: Children and the elderly are more susceptible to formaldehyde poisoning due

There is no specific cure or medication for formaldehyde poisoning. Treatment is mainly supportive and may include oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, and fluids. In severe cases, a ventilator may be needed to help the patient breathe.
