Workplace chemical exposure?

recently i was exposed to the overwhelming fumes from hydrochloric Acid for a duration of time. my breathing becomes restricted, upper nasal headaches,shaking,nausia and most important my thinking is cloudy,and sleep 9-12 hrs a day. I have been to ER a few days back and was checked out,given albuterol inhalant. symptoms rather than going away remain the same or are getting worse. the latex gloves i was using had deteriorated and I didn't notice until my figertips were burning. I am confused as to what I should do about this. My thinking is slow and jumping from questions to reasons. I having hard time with speaking the sequence of events. now more thatn ever I need competent council in wisconsin.

trollburst-please less technical, interested by what you mean.

Quite frankly, given the *symptoms* you mentioned pursuant to the chemical agent *involved*, I seriously doubt the veracity of your complaint. Exposure to an IDLH atmosphere of HCl would result in completely different symptoms if not death.

Have you filed a workers' compensation first report of injury form?
(it may be called something else in WI). It would be best if you had a doctor with a background in occupational health but you should consult a pulmonary specialist
