Drunk tea with a lighter in by accident!

[gumdrop2]

Can someone reassure my anxiety please made myself tea was lighting a candle with a lighter it fell in to my tea for about 5 seconds I fished it out then drank the tea now I'm worrying if the lighter fluid could of harmed me. I know I'm being 99% irrational I'm just worried as I'm only 34 weeks and don't want anything to wrong

Lighting candles is probably more dangerous, especially if you forget about them and you set your house alight.

You're absolutely fine op, don't give it a second thought.

You’ll be fine (and being completely irrational)
The smoke from candles isn’t best whilst pregnant though

You’ll be fine I think of you drank lighter fluid, you’d quickly be sick! And I think you’d have tasted it!

As for candles, I roll my eyes at the candle police! I have candles on every night in winter.. I’ve never ever forgotten to blow them out before bed! How do you forget?! Also, the smoke from candles is bad when pregnant.. how?! Should I have also avoided the two bonfires I went too this month? And some how the daily fumes from my commute?! Some people really worry about odd things.. I think you’ll be a’ok enjoying your candles 😂

Thank you everyone I did think I was being dramatic but it's always better to ask. And I won't forget the candles I've lit them for so many years and never forgot one touch wood lol

I would worry if you had swallowed the lighter as well as the tea.

If they are scented candles, they give off volatile compounds that convert to benzene and formaldehyde when heated. I wouldn’t recommend such carcinogenic chemicals in one’s home at any time, and even less so when pregnant. If you must have them, make sure the room is well ventilated to the outdoors.

@Babdoc what goes through your head that thinks that is ok to post to a pregnant woman who is already obviously anxious.

The NHS has written about this and the study has not been published or peer reviewed. It clearly states that occasional candles are not going to cause lung damage or illnesses.

Heh I was actually using that to illustrate that the OP was probably going to be ok although candle fires now that someone took me seriously do happen and I'll bet those people thought the same shit as well
