Washed dishes with bleach few hours ago and the smell lingers on my hand. i only washed them once since then and have touched my own genitalia since then, outer only. is this harmful or will it be harmful to me? i also have smelled it since then?

Highly unlikely to be harmful in any way. Cleanse normally and smell is likely to disappear in a week or two
