Does working in a lab with chemicals make a person feel numb or senseless? If so, why and how that happens? Please, i really wanna know.. Any kind of an answer would do..
Answer:
Yes, it can. It doesn't matter if you're male or female, exposure to chemicals of any kind can have any number of affects. It could lead to breathing problems (especially if you're asthmatic), numbness in any body part that is exposed, etc. I've even had that happen to me when using some household cleaners. If this person is working with chemicals, the workplace SHOULD, by law, have the proper working conditions (i.e. good ventilation) and provide the proper protective gear (i.e. gloves). If the workplace does not - QUIT, or call your state's OSHA Dept.(Occupational Safety %26 Health Agency) and report them.
YES!!!! It can be absorbed through you hands, skin and air you breathe. Ware gloves always, two pair wouldn't be bad, and use a mask. Ware long sleeve shirts, try to keep yourself cover up. Any exposed skin can draw chemicals. Make sure you wash off really good, after every job. Ware a hair bonnet also. Watch out some of this stuff "combined" can kill you. My Dad used to work in a chemical factory, and the combination's of chemicals gave him Cancer. If you employer does not provide these, get them to!! Contact the occupational safety and health department if they do not want to. That will light a fire under their butts!
Some chemicals are easily inhaled, injested, or even absorbed through the skin. Proper safety precautions should always be taken when handling any type of chemicals, including household ones. It does not matter if the person is male or female, although people may have differing reactions to various chemicals.
There are chemicals which will affect the nervous system. Sometimes the effects are only minor and temporary, but there can also be permanent damage. Even if the symptoms seem to have passed, the person should still seek medical help.
If you suspect someone has come in contact with a harmful chemical, do not take any chances. Check the label or packaging for first aid information, contact your local poison control center, or call 911. Provide the medical responders with the suspected chemical(s) so proper treatment can be determined and administered.
