Will the fluids from a person who have recently been on a chemotherapy be toxic to others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Chemotherapy can come out in the sweat glands but this only occurs for about 24-48 hours. Also if you have pets who drink out of the toilet, it is a good idea to flush twice for the first 24-48 hours after chemotherapy is complete. Hope this helps.
