I did the IT at work so changed multiple toners. I always figured printer ink was nasty so avoid exposure as much as possible as a matter of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-replacing-inktoner-during-pregnancy#post-77944 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 16:42:27 +0000 autumnlove 77944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of this.

I got covered in ink last year when I was pregnant - I was changing the toner in the photocopy machine and it pretty much exploded - it mostly got on my clothes but my hands were pretty gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-replacing-inktoner-during-pregnancy#post-77737 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:13:30 +0000 chopsuey 77737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow.

It never ends does it! Don't colour your hair, don't use nail polish etc, don't use depilatory creams, you're a bad person if you even think of having a drink, don't keep your phone in your pocket, don't drink out of plastic containers... All of which no doubt do the Mommy Guilt complex far more good than they ever do the baby. It'd drive you batty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-replacing-inktoner-during-pregnancy#post-77611 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:33:55 +0000 Lozza 77611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. I mean, I wouldn't pour myself a nice cup of ink with breakfast or anything, but that sounds a bit... much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-replacing-inktoner-during-pregnancy#post-77604 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:22:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 77604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-replacing-inktoner-during-pregnancy#post-77603 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:21:20 +0000 prettylizy 77603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>?????

The sales associate kinda freaked out and ran to get hand sanitizer for me to use to clean it off and warned me not to eat until I had washed my hands. She made a really big deal about how pregnant women shouldnt come in contact with ink/ toners. I had never heard of this until today and to be honest I wasnt too concerned about it. Have any of you experienced this? </p>
