I must give it a go, thanks. I guess I really should wear gloves but they're a hassel to get on an off, sticky blimn things they are.

I only just thought about it when feeding DD today as could still smell it. ]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:42:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469920&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469920 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469910&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469910 Author: weegee

In that case, here's a tip for getting rid of smells on your hands - came from my stinky fisherman DH Rinse your hands in warm water, then rub them with plain white sugar and a little dishwashing detergent. Works for fish guts and garlic so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for bleach. (Don't ask me why it works though!)]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:26:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469910&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469910 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469898&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469898 Author: 2bmumof3

Thanks for that weegee, and yip I'm always really conscious to wash my hands thoroughly with soap straight after and before dealing with anything else....hands still stink though!!]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:10:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469898&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469898 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469891&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469891 Author: weegee

(But I should point out that if you have bleach on your hands and don't wash it off straight away, then handle bubs, you could irritate bubs' skin...)]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:59:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469891&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469891 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469888&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469888 Author: weegee

Apologies in advance if this sounds too technical! Whether there is any effect from a chemical being absorbed through the skin depends on the toxicological pathways for that particular chemical. For bleach (sodium hypochlorite) in particular, the toxicological pathways are via inhalation and ingestion, so as long as you make sure the room you're using it in is adequately ventilated and you don't drink it, don't worry, you're fine! It doesn't get into your bloodstream through contact with your skin, and therefore can't get into your milk.

If you want to know about the toxicology of a specific chemical then google the chemical name and "MSDS" which should give you links to the Materials Safety Data Sheet for the chemical, and they will tell you the risks and toxicological pathways for that chemical.]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:57:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469888&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469888 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469852&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469852 Author: 2bmumof3

Ok so I know that certain foods can effect bubs through BM, coffee, tes etc with the caffine but what about chemicals absorbed through the skin? I use alot of bleech in our house an I'm a shocker with wearing gloves, meaning I don't. Would this end up in my milk supply?]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:14:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20189&PID=469852&title=what-gets-into-your-milk#469852
