A member asked:
I was putting laundry powder in a container and the powder came into the air and i inhaled some. i immediately rinsed my mouth and throat with water and then drank a glass of water. it does have borax in it. should i be concerned? no symptoms yet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A person breathing in powdered laundry detergent would likely find it irritating, but any ill effects would be immediate. What you did was appropriate.
