A member asked:
Can you get an allergic reaction after accidentally cutting yourself on glass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Glass is a very inert substance so is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Any swelling and redness after such an injury is more likely to be caused by infection from something in the air or on the glass.
