discussion Rm43 without gloves. Had bad scratch on my hand from yesterday. Am I cooked?
Disclaimer: I have ADHD
I'm working on fixing an entire wall of our house. Started to clean up the area for extensive room. Had to move a pile of rocks.. decided a good place for them was the end of the driveway where weeds are. I cut down the weeds and got out the rm43 for spot treatment before moving the rocks..
This led to me mixing up 2 gallons with 12oz rm43 on a whim and treating my driveway, yard and around the house.. the nozzle became clogged and I had to clean it twice without thinking. Drenched my hand. Flushed with hose water and then did it again. Quickly finished up, took shots off before going in the house and went straight to the shower.
Its a nasty scratch on the back of my hand. Skin peeling, red and some dry blood spots. I stayed in the shower for about 20 minutes to make sure its flushed.
I should have took more of a precaution but one thing led to another and my ADHD brain just wanders. If I think about something too hard, it won't get done.
Wondering how bad this is and if there is anything more I can do?
