Is WD40 Harmful?

[starlight2801]

OK so I'm having a paranoid moment here.

They have lubricated the locks at work with WD40 today and I got some on my hands whilst on my way to the kitchen to make a cup of tea.

I didn't notice at the time and looked down when I was halfway though my cup of tea and noticed it on my hands. I poured the other half of my cuppa away and have washed my hands.

I'm now worried that I could have ingested some (on my teabag? around my cup?) and I'm worried that this will cause bubs some harm.

Does anyone know about this and could (hopefully) put my mind at rest?

Cheers x

i'm not really sure but i think you should call your Dr to make sure

I've searched googel frantically all afternoon and it didn't come up with any info about this so I ended up phoning NHS direct because I couldn't stop obsessing over it

I spoke to a nurse and a poisons advisor and they both assured me that bubs will be fine

My heart feels much lighter now xx
