Shit! Help quick- mould killer spillage....

Just got home from trip to shops with16 mo DS in his buggy. Had plasticky lined canvas shopper on back of buggy. DS fell asleep on way home, so left him in the buggy outside the front door, and took the shopping inside.

Twatted about unpacking and when I got to the bottom of the first bag, realised that the mould killer (polycell 3 in 1) had been leaking into the bag- probably about 1/5 of the container. Immediately washed my hands

I also chucked the food away that had been in a different bag hanging alongside, and safely disposed of mould killer. (Food was M&s picky bits- very upsetting).

For all I know the bottle starting leaking when i chucked the shopping bag on the table, so it's been nowhere near DS- but if it HAD been leaking slowly for an hour, dangling just behind DS on the buggy, should I be worrying about him inhaling it? Even though we were outside? And it was in a bag? The buggy is dry so it hasn't soaked further than the bag.

He seems fine, and I should disclose just over a nasty 9 month tango with postnatal anxiety and pure O OCD- and separated from ExDP so on my own with these kind of potentially daft panics- but AIBU to worry??

Forget it. Very kindly, YABU.

@matilda

That made me smile. Thank you for replying and being kind.

I'm sure he's absolutely fine. I would only worry if he'd got the chemical on his skin, and it sounds like it was all in the bag.

Please try not to worry

@zoop

Defs not on skin- he was in his winter puffa / strait jacket Grin he can't reach round the back of the buggy (or indeed anywhere) the sleeves are so big.

I know I'm being a bit silly. Stuff like this is quite triggering though, and I can't always get perspective alone

Thank you

Have calmed down and now see I was being a bit OTT.

Thank you both for replying

I think the other bag of food would have been ok as well, if it was in a separate bag it could not have come into contact with it.

@festiveroad

I think so too.... unfortunately my anxiety doesn't think rationally. Now I'm calm, I see it was silly to chuck it.

I suppose if it was making you anxious then it was the right decision to chuck it,
