Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Harpic does contain acids which gives rise to fumes which causes inflammation of airways and also if absorbed into blood may cause allergic reaction. If the itching is still persistent you may require anti histamines. Effect will go in 2-3 days
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
