Question 1

is windshield wiper fluid effective against athlete's foot?

Accepted Answer

Possibly, but why?: Most wiper fluid will have some sort of chemical composition to lower it's freezing point - usually some sort of alcohol and  are a combination of solvents with a detergent. While this is a drying agent, you could just soak your feet in warm soapy (dish washing detergent) water, epsom salts or a dilute vinegar solution.  With wiper solution, you could be getting different concentrations of agents.

Question 2

possible windshield wiper fluid in eye, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Irrigate: As with anything that accidently gets into the eye, irrigate with teardrops , or even tap water.
Washer fluid is not particularly dangerous, but expect some minor irritation for 24-48 hours.More severe discomfort or pain would warrant an exam by an eye doctor.

Question 3

what if you get windshield washer fluid in your eye. is it dangerous ?

Accepted Answer

No: Not a problem though it may burn. Just wash it out wit water and it should be fine.

Question 4

should i be concerned about getting windshield washer fluid on hands with cracks on them from eczema?

Accepted Answer

No: Hopefully you washed your hands after the exposure. There should not be any long term issues.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 7

only when driving when i turn left and look at headlights to the right in windshield it appears distorted, almost two shaky images. eye exam was fine.

Accepted Answer

Spherical: aberration due to the curvature of the windshield. I suspect that both sides of your windshield are slightly curved to blend in with the shape of your car. When viewing lights through the curved part the image may be blurred, especially at night. No worries. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
