Clarify: Please clarify were there specific chemicals/ substances that you may have ingested, inhaled or absorbed from skin? No enough info.

Science projects: in school ARE SAFE and will NOT cause any disorders! Discuss this with your Teacher and you can confirm with your Primary Care Provider sho I am sure will support this opinion! Hope this helps! Happy LEARNING! SCIENCE IS WONDERFUL!!!

Not from science: I cannot imagine any chemicals or germs to which you would have been exposed in science class and certainly nothing that would cause itching, skin rash, or any other medical problem. Your symptoms probably have nothing to do with science class. If they continue and/or you remain concerned, see your GP to be on the safe side. Good luck.

I'm not sure what: you contracted from the science lab but if you are worried enough about it making you sick then you need to see a healthcare provider. And then let us know what they said. Thanks for trusting HealthTap.
