I'm really anxious because I accidentally mixed red Harpic with some floor cleaning acid and then breathed in what tasted like a bitter breath. I found out that Harpic shouldn't be mixed with acid since it can release chlorine gas, but I only realized this after. It's been about 30 minutes since it happened and I don't feel any discomfort yet, but I'm worried since I read online that inhaling chlorine can cause pulmonary edema. I'm trying to get an appointment with a pulmonologist, but nothing's available right now. Do you think I need to see a doctor urgently for this, or is there something I can do right now to prevent any issues? I'm pretty worried, please help me.

I swallowed a small amount of betadine gargle by accident. Should I be worried or is it nothing to be concerned about?
Accidentally swallowing a small amount of Betadine (povidone-iodine) gargle is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it may cause temporary gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, due to its high iodine content

I'm a bit worried because I cut my hand on a steel utensil a couple of days ago. I remember getting my last tetanus shot about 9 months ago. Do I need to get another one now?
the power of TT lasts for at least 5 years. So you just need to take one booster shot every 5 years. Nothing more than that is ever required. Just take care of the cut so that it doesn't get infected. Apply a t-bact ointment over that.
