Best Answer

Brake fluid is a toxic substance containing ethlene glycol.

Seek professional medical treatment immediately, or call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

(UK 0870 600 6266)

As little as 4 mL (0.13 oz) for a child or 16 mL(one half ounce) for an adult can require medical treatment. Twice this amount could be fatal. Inducing vomiting is not recommended. The drug fomepizole is used theraputically. In an emergency far from treatment, grain alcohol is often used to reduce the toxic effects, generally intravenously or in extremely dilute dosage.
