hi,
I've started working at Iceland. Today I put through something that had blood on it. so I was sure I didnt touch it but just to be sure I came home and poured a load of rubbing alcohol on my hands to disinfect but then my skin felt a bit tingly and I read on the bottle that it can cause effects if come into contact with skin or swallowed!! But it also says on the bottle you can use it for hardening skin so you would therefore have to have it in contact with skin? But not as much as I poured into my hands!
Arrrghhh on the plus side I'm no longer freaking out as much about the possibility of having touched a minute amount of blood :(
Any nurses out there use rubbing alc? and is this sufficient to use IF I did happen to come into contact with blood? and also is it ok to use rubbing alcohol poured over your hands to clean them?
Thanks
