I've inhaled hand sanitizer about five times the last few weeks. it made me cough. it was by accident. i'm 20 weeks pregnant. could this harm baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hand sanitizer should just be alcohol gel. It has mild fumes or odor, and is harmless if unintentionally inhaled occasionally.
