A member asked:
I got imoxi canine for flea and intestinal parasites on my hand when my cat jumped when applying. i immediately washed my hands with soap and water and ran water on my hand. should i be concerned?

Not particularly. The skin thickness of the hands is greater than other areas and the skin is a great barrier against entry of any toxic material to your bloodstream. Unless you have a specific allergic response or chemical burn from the product the cited exposure is unlikely to cause any problem.
