HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Allergic reactions can occur as a result of contact with any chemical agent including this cleaner.
The length of time the reaction would persist would depend on its severity, treatment used and re exposure to the agent.
When you are exposed, the use of an anti histamine would help to reduce symptoms quickly. These should be available over the counter at your local pharmacy.
Examples are benadryl, allegra, aerius, claritine, zyrtec
I hope this helps
