Is Accidental Ingestion Of Clorox Harmful?
Question: hi I put clorox on my clothes a bit and I dont know if it made contact with my sandwich or not all i know it was closed woith the paper but I still ate the dsandwhich again I dont know if it made contact with my sandwich???? how much I dont know but i threw the bottle away there was a lot left
Brief Answer:
unlikely that there would be any significant transfer to chlorox to food
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Even if there was contact between the clothes and the sandwich, it is unlikely that there would be significant transfer of chlorox to cause any symptoms.
To be transferred the chlorox on the clothes would need to be wet so that it can rub off of the clothes to the food.
The chlorox on the clothes may have dried somewhat and even if some was still wet on the clothes, the sandwich would have to be in direct contact with it (directly onto the shirt or pants) for any significant transfer to occur.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

If chlorox came into contact with the food, then symptoms would occur is you ingested a significant amount of chlorox
Symptoms such as , burning or pain in the mouth, abdominal pain and vomiting can occur possibly due to erosion occurring in the stomach.
If you are not having any symptoms are present, then you can monitor for any changes

Brief Answer:
no need to go back
Detailed Answer:
HI
Luckily HIV is not transmitted by contact with intact skin so if there are no entry wounds or blood seen then there is no risk of transmission of this infection to you.
You don't need to go back and take a look since there were no skin breaks, even if they were, the chance of HIV virus on surfaces in the general environment would be extremely extremely low.
Hope this reassures you
no need to go back

Brief Answer:
not likely related, no need to return
Detailed Answer:
Hi
It is true that garbage can be hazardous but this is usually if there are very large amounts that then encourage rodents and cockroaches and other pests to the area.
Bacteria can grow on garbage but this would take a very long period of time and it more than likely that the garbage is removed quite regularly before any bacteria can form.
This would be a requirement , health standard
Most garbage is not chemically dangerous meaning that infection is not likely occur with contact of intact skin.
There is not likely to be any link between this and your pain. You can try to use pain medication and see if this helps.
It is normal to have some amount of anxiety and stress about health and contact with dangerous chemicals or objects but if you think that you may be more anxious than the norm or it is affecting your quality of life, you may want to speak to someone that may help
You should be fine

Brief Answer:
no need for followup
Detailed Answer:
HI
Very sorry for delayed reply
With regard to the first query, you can let it go. If he did not have any open lesions on his hands then he would not be able to transmit any infection.
If you are not sure then the risk would be still low since it was only a scratch on your, scratches tend to heal very quickly.
With regard to your second query, if you are confident that you did not have intercourse then there is no need for further intervention here
