Only if you're a complete fool. Kerosene is a light oil, made of hydrocarbons. It is used for heating, cooking and lighting. Some people use it as a treatment for Arthritis by rubbing it on painful joints. It's also been used as an insecticide against mites and fleas.

if kerosene enters the liver then it becomes a serious problem and Doctors advise against making the affected person vomit

No, it is not safe to drink kerosene. Consuming kerosene can lead to serious health problems, including irritation of the digestive system, difficulty breathing, and even death. Kerosene is a toxic substance that should never be ingested.
