Q: i got expo marker ink into an open cut. am i at risk for blood poisoning or infection?

: 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.
