A member asked:
Can rubbing alcohol effect my pregnancy if inhaled or smell every day?

Rubbing alcohol: If this is only an occasional exposure your fetus will not be harmed. If it is often that would be a concern. All the best.

Yes if you inhale it: every day. Rubbing alcohol is not meant to be inhaled.
