Does Ingestion Of Cleaning Chemical Cause Adverse Side Effects?
Hi doctor, I recently was cleaning with CLR drain cleaner. I used quite a bit but rinsed all of it away. I washed my hands but believe some may have gotten under my fingernails which I proceeded to put in my mouth. Could this possible ingestion be harmful?
