Hi. i am pregnant and we dipped the chickens today for lice and the dip got on my arms and face and still itch and burn. will this affect my baby?

Unlikely: The skin surface is a barrier to intrusion of external materials. To bother baby it would need to enter the bloodstream. Unless you have a skin condition with a poor skin barrier this will not happen.
