I was just cleaning the sink with neat all-purpose cleaner and stupidly touched my face and I think a drop of the cleaning fluid went up my nose. My rational brain is telling me that a drop couldn't do much harm, but my anxiety brain is telling me I'm going to burn my nose/gullet/lungs.
My nose feels a bit irritated (possibly form me blowing it so much to try to get the fluid out) but other than that no other symptoms that I can tell. But I made the mistake of googling "inhaling detergent" etc and something came up about "late onset respiratory failure after inhaling detergent" and I've now convinced myself that I'm going to keel over and die in a couple of days with no warning.
I have longstanding anxiety issues around cleaning products, as well as other health anxiety issues.
