Help, I'm kind of freaking out here! Earlier today, I was giving my cat his Bravecto Plus treatment, and in the middle of it, he managed to wiggle out of my hold and brushed against my wrist with the liquid still on his fur. Now I'm worried if there's anything I need to do about it. I washed my hands and arms thoroughly with soap and water right away, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Has anyone else had a similar experience or knows whether there's anything else I should be doing to ensure it's safe? I just can't stop thinking about it and would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!
Thanks for reaching out with your concern. If you've accidentally gotten Bravecto Plus on your skin, it’s generally nothing to panic about; it’s made primarily for animal use, but occasional skin contact isn't typically dangerous to humans. Here’s what you can do: wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible. This will help remove any residue and minimize the chances of irritation.
Most people won't experience any issues beyond minor skin irritation, if any. However, it's wise to watch out for any signs of an allergic reaction, such as redness, itching, or swelling where the product came into contact with your skin. If you do notice any of these symptoms or if you accidentally ingested the product, it would be a good idea to consult with your doctor for further guidance.
