A member asked:
5 weeks pregnant. inhaled on accident toluene, acetone, xylene, propane, butane in 5 breaths. got a little on finger. scared about birth defects now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop worrying: The vast majority of birth defects are probably no more common in this era of widespread chemical exposure than they were centuries ago. A healthy concern for your new baby and a dysfunctional tort system has generated unrealistic concerns such as what you express. You make acetone in your body, and the others are basically inert. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Don't let "toxic fear" ruin it.
