A member asked:

If i drunk some lysol while pregnant, (didnt know there was some in a cup), what could happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably nothing: Lysol will most likely not cause miscarriage or birth defects however it may cause stomach upset and diarrhea. Drink lots of water to flush it out of your system. See your ob with any issues.
