Skin contact
Skin contact occurs when a substance touches your skin, which acts as a barrier to protect your body. Some materials or chemicals can be absorbed through the skin, potentially causing irritation, allergic reactions, or toxicity. It’s important to handle substances carefully, wear protective gear if necessary, and wash affected areas promptly to minimize health risks. Skin contact can happen during cleaning, working with chemicals, or accidental spills, so awareness and proper safety measures are essential to prevent harm.
