I was preparing a dose of miralax and when i opened the pack, the powder flew in my face and i inhaled some. will this harm me?

You should be OK: Even if you inhaled some of it, you should be OK. If you have symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain that persist after the inhalation then see your PCP.
