Hello,
Sorry if this is not a well put together post, I’m just really annoyed and angry at myself so if I come across as incoherent and stressed that’s why.
Partner is away so my two year son and iI are at home by ourselves.
We were in the bathroom where I used a bit of method spray to clean down the surface after I had used the shower. It’s the blue one. Anyway I put it in the bathroom cabinet storage drawer under the sink and didn’t secure the child proofing thing properly. I went back to the kitchen but before he followed me, toddler went into the draw and took it out. I went on to another cleaning job around the kitchen sink and my toddler started calling me (“mummy mummy”) so I turned around to see that he was spraying an alarming amount of method on his actual bare chest. I guess he liked the feel of it. So I scooped him up and ran him back to the bathroom to thoroughly rinse him under the shower to completely wash it off.
Then gave him water to drink. Then he was in the mood for lots of biscuits (ginger bread men).
I called my partner and when I explained, he said he thought toddler would be fine as those sprays contain degreaser and perfume.
Im not sure if much or any went in his mouth, he wasn’t complaining of a bad taste at all. I would have thought it would taste pretty evil (obviously I tried it to see and can confirm it tastes bloody awful).
Anyone else been in a similar situation? What cid you do? Is this a case for calling 111. My partner thinks the best that can happen is we go for a walk in the fresh air.
I feel just awful and am very upset. I wasn’t wearing my glasses so I only had an awareness of what was going on right in front of my face. I know better now.
