What to know or do
If possible, have someone else clean enclosures. Otherwise use dedicated gloves, wash hands with soap immediately, keep equipment away from food areas and do not clean a tank in a kitchen sink.
What changes the answer
- The exact product, task, temperature, duration and ventilation
- Whether exposure is through breathing, swallowing, skin contact or injury
- Any label warning, spill, symptoms or repeated occupational-level exposure

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
