A member asked:
I am 37 weeks pregnant and just cleaned the kitchen with lysol and paper towels and completely forgot to wear gloves. how bad is that for the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's fine: Unless the fumes are strong enough to make you pass out, you should be fine. No evidence that using Lysol to clean is harmful and your skin is a good barrier against most cleaning solutions.
