Authors deduce from their experience during 1979 that intoxication by spirit oil of turpentine is an accident with few repercussions in infancy, because the quantity ingested does not reach toxic levels, except for children over seven who try to commit suicide. Gastric lavage must not be practiced because removing turpentine can provoke its' aspiration with a consequent pulmonary disease in the majority of occasions. Only when ingestion is more than 1 ml./Kg., or symptoms suggest important disease, can gastric lavage, be done because secondary complications can aggravate the disease. Antibiotics are used if there is an obvious infection, remembering that turpentine intoxication itself can provoke fever. In their experience, corticoids don't modify the evolution.
作者根据他们在1979年的经验推断，松节油精油中毒在婴儿期是一种后果较轻的意外事件，因为摄入的量不会达到中毒水平，除非是七岁以上企图自杀的儿童。禁止进行洗胃，因为在大多数情况下，清除松节油会引发其被吸入，进而导致肺部疾病。只有当摄入量超过1毫升/千克，或症状表明有严重疾病时，才可以进行洗胃，因为继发并发症会使病情加重。如果有明显感染则使用抗生素，要记住松节油中毒本身也会引起发烧。根据他们的经验，皮质类固醇不会改变病情发展。
