Question 1

i was cleaning with lysol all purpose cleaner and some mist and possibly some droplets got into my drink from spraying, very small amount. i ingested my drink without realizing. will such a small amount cause a lot of harm? should i go to er?

Accepted Answer

: The amount from a spray bottle not sprayed directly into a drink is very little.  You can call your local poison control center for more specific advice.

Question 2

hi! i used lysol toilet bowl cleaner to clean the grout in my kitchen for a good 45 minutes. i didnt have the fan above on and noticed the smell was strong. i stopped cleaning with it but am worried i mightve hurt my baby. ill be 16 weeks tomorrow?

Accepted Answer

: There have been no reliable reports of injury to the fetus in the first trimester from breathing lysol vapors. As a precaution you can stop using that product, or wear an N99 mask while using cleaners.  For now, there is not too much to worry about.  Good luck!

Question 3

i was cleaning and i used clorox and lysol toilet bowl cleaner, i felt sick and i started trowing up  also have a bad cough, having trouble breathing ?

Accepted Answer

Chemical: irritation is common with these cleaners...always use in WELL VENTILATED areas.

Your symptoms should subside when you are removed from the irritating vapors/

Hope this is helpful

Question 4

inhaled non water down concentrated lysol vapors.had a few second cough.called poison control,was advised to just drink cold water/fresh air.?thoughts

Accepted Answer

Sounds right: If your cough was brief and you are feeling better now, just stay in fresh air and rest for an hour or two.  If cough worsens or you become short of breath - go for evaluation.

Question 5

sir i accidently drinked a spoon of lysol at nearly 1 pm today 
i vomited so many times.. please help me doctor what sholud i do ?

Accepted Answer

Call Poison Control: Usual choices are to call the local Poison Control if not having bothersome symptoms, or to call 911 for the ambulance if having some symptoms. Poison Control may say to call 911, even without symptoms. Realize that Lysol is a brand and has many, many different products that are toxic to living things (that's their intent, to kill germs). Should keep the Lysol bottle and spoon to show paramedics.

Question 6

can lysol cause sickness in kids?

Accepted Answer

YES: Lysol and all other household cleaners should be kept away from children. They can cause damage if they spill on skin or eyes, or severe damage if ingested. Please call 911 if you feel your children have ingested lysol.

Question 7

i drank out of my glass that was sitting there when someone in house sprayed lysol around im worried that chemicals in spray are they gonna cause any disease ?

Accepted Answer

Disease, no: The chances of any of the Lysol getting into your glass are slim to none, and since you're still healthy enough to post on the internet,  your healthy enough. If you have any symptoms making you feel uncomfortable and out of the ordinary, seek medical care.

Question 8

my daughters dad let her wipe after using the bathroom with a lysol disinfectant wipe will that cause serious problems down there?

Accepted Answer

Lysol cleaning wipes: Would not use cleaning agents to wipe one's vulvar area. These tissues are delicate and those products can be quite strong.

Question 9

can lysol spray cause any skin irritation?

Accepted Answer

It sure can: Certainly yes.

Baby should be fine: Great news, inadvertent or transient inhalation of routine cleaning products should not confer any increased risk to your baby.  Congratulations on the pregnancy!
