Hi

I have today been working on my vintage car, it has a 6V hard rubber battery, and the terminals were all while with corrossion, as I cleaned this off with a wire bruch, I found I had breathed a little of the dust in. I got a nasty taste in my mouth so imediateley washed my mouth out and gargled with water.

Is this serious, do I need to go to hostpital, or is it something I can see how it goes. I don't have any pain at the moment, bar a aching in my front, but that may be due to indigestion and my bad back.

Any ideas, and is a small amount of this dust serious?

Cheers and please advise me, I don't want to waist the hospitals time, but don't want to damage myself.

Dave
