A member asked:
Dr, when i was 18 days pregnant (i didn't know then)i sprayed once(1ml or more)ethanol surgical alcohol at 70 on mouth ulcers,i kept it few minutes and spat out the excess without rincing. does the absorbed alcohol harm the embryo ?i'm super anxious?

Doubt it: There is no level of exposure to alcohol that has been fount totally safe for an embryo/fetus. That said, I do not believe the exposure you describe was enough to create a level of alcohol in your blood. It must achieve a blood level to get to/bother the fetus.
