Question 1

is lysol okay to inhale?

Accepted Answer

OK with ventilation: Lysol does not have toxic vapors, and most people can use it safely with good ventilation any the area. It is possible for individuals to have sensitivity to almost any chemical so if you notice problems then stop using it.

Question 2

i inhaled lysol and had a hard time breathing, my face turned beat red. i am okay now but i feel hot and my throat feels very dry. will i be okay?

Yes.: Yes. You will be OK. Lysol can be an irritant to your nasal passages and your lungs. These feelings will pass. If you have a history of asthma, please consult your physician because your asthma can be exacerbated by strong smells like Lysol.

Question 4

if i inhale enough lysol, will it keep me from getting sick from novel coronavirus?

Um, no: Inhaling Lysol can be deleterious to your health, more than COVID-19 itself. Burning your pulmonary tissues may actually make you more susceptible to getting sick from the virus. Be rational.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes: It may cause transient lung irritation but the effect will be transient.   Don't make this a habit though. :).

Question 6

recently have been spraying lysol in a room that i work in, it is not well ventilated so i inhaled fumes. this has happened a few times over friday and monday. i ovulated on friday and want to know if the fumes inhaled could harm to a possible baby?

Accepted Answer

: There are a number of hypotheticals in your question. How much lysol? How may times? Did you have any symptoms? Did you get pregnant? Quit using lysol spray. If you got pregnant, and do not use the spray, there will be no harm from the previous exposure.
Establish relation with doctor for proper antenatal care. Take pre-natal vitamins.

Question 7

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.

im 23 weeks pregnant and just recently started wondering if certain things are ok? i think the anxiety is mounting from all the cleaning and disinfecting. are lysol wipes and using lysol spray safe? i try to not inhale much but obviously some is...?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy/lysol  ?'s: While disinfection with Lysol spray/wipes is an effective preventive of Covid-19 and other viral particles, it is important to have adequate ventilation to avoid inhalation of Lysol.  See your OB physician to determine if any adverse effects may have influenced your "23 week pregnancy", which effects are dose dependent.
