Question
I was cleaning my kitchen with ammonia. And I was using a sponge with my bare hands, and I got dizzy after about 5 minutes from breathing in a little bit. so I stopped. since then my right inner for-arm has been tingly and numb on the inside not on the surface and its a little puffy. is this anything to worry about?
Answer
I would be surprised if the numbness is related to the ammonia. If this continues to bother you, you should see your physician.
