A member asked:
I got expo marker ink into an open cut. am i at risk for blood poisoning or infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A review of the product ingredient data sheet reveals no evidence of significant toxicity beyond mild irritation at the site. This like any wound may become infected by skin germs. A thorough cleaning of the site with monitoring for signs of infection is sufficient. If local pain/swelling/redness appear have it evaluated.
