I am new to hostel. Today I cleaned my room with disinfectant liquid/ chemical. Thereafter I forgot to wash my hands and got busy in some other works. But after sometime I feel hungry and I went to eat food in the mess. I have forgotten that my hands were unwashed and I eat my food with the hands. Maybe some of the chemical have entered my stomach. Will anything happen to me? Will the chemical cause harm to my brain. Will I lose my memory Power?

Dear Lybrateuser, - Most likely very little amount would have been ingested which should not cause any serious problem - have 1-2 litres if water over the day to wash off the chemical from your system - report to a local doctor if you have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or stomach ache or any other problem for treatment.
