Chronic formaldehyde poisoning is treated through methods such as hormone therapy and cleansing. Patients should go to the hospital for hormonal treatment. It is best to avoid places or items containing formaldehyde, such as green pineapples, activated carbon, and tea leaves. If mild symptoms occur—such as itching, rashes, or blurred vision—the affected person can wash the exposed areas with water or soapy water. In case of severe symptoms, prompt medical attention is required.
