Suggest Remedy For Accidental Inhalation Of Chemical Fumes
Question: Hi,
This may seem like a strange question but I’m worried about possible exposure to carcinogens or other dangerous chemicals. Basically, I just moved into a new apartment, and there was a strong smell of cleaning supplies. I couldn’t get the smell to air out by using a fan and opening windows. I Googled searched the issue and found out that if you put lemon and salt in water, it absorbs the chemicals in the air. So I did this in a few bowls. Then I rinsed out the bowls. Note that I also live in a high pollution city and was hoping this lemon-salt water would absorb some of the pollution chemicals from that too.
Out of laziness, I don’t think I washed my hands after rinsing out the bowls. I’m not sure how much of the water actually touched my hands because I generally tried to avoid it and just let the sink rinse it out but some probably did. Then about ten min later I put my finger in my mouth to get a piece of food stuck in between my teeth out. Now, I’m worried that I might have put all the chemicals that had been absorbed in the bowl in my mouth, and that it could harm my health. This was 2 days ago and I’m not actually experiencing any health problems. I’m just worried I could have been exposed to chemicals (especially carcinogens) that would be bad long-term. Thanks for your input.

Hello Mr XXXXXXX
Nice to hear from you.
Many peoples comes to us with similar problem and they were benefitted after the homeopathic medication.
First of all i wish to clear your doubt regarding the exposure of carcinogen.
Understand this is not something that you touched or exposed for couples of days and your chance of being sick increases. This is absolutely common and safe process.
Secondly putting only lemon and salt water doesn't assure that the air in your room is purified. This is kept to maintain moisture in the room.
Even you touched the lemon or water doesn't expose you with carcinogenic substance.
Pollution may cause initial allergic condition to you so you need to keep precaution while going out.
This is common question weather they would exposed to cancer if living in the polluted environment. This would take a pretty good time to be exposed and then it may lead to cancerous condition. Their are also many other factor are also involve which influence the condition.
I am suggesting you some medicine and suggest you to start as prescribed.
Carcinocin 50 milisimal potency 4 drops once in15 days
Antim crud 30 6 PILLS TWICE IN A DAY
Ignitia XXXXXXX 200 6 pills twice in a day.
Take medicine for a month and then revert back.
This would help you to keep out with any exposure of disease.
In case of any query feel free to ask
Thanks
