I cleaned my bathroom today with herpic, phenyl and disinfectant liquids. My hands came in contact with the liquids. Thereafter I washed my hands with plenty of water. Then I hurriedly went to eat food from the mess of the hostel. I ate the food with my hands. I forgot to wash my hands with handwash. I washed my hands just with water only. Will anything happen to me? Has the chemical/harpic/phenyl entered my stomach?

Do not worry lybrate-user, if you washed your hands with plenty of water then it won't harm you. Next time inwards always remember to wash hands properly be cause sometimes chemicals might irritate your skin. Take care.
