I dusted my feral cat with Diatomaceous Earth which is a fossilised powder that kills fleas etc. You are instructed to wear a fine dust mask when using it but I put some gently onto my cat so the dust did not go in the air but then forgot I did it when I brushed him and the dust went everywhere! Now I am in a complete state of panic and fear, I know this stuff can get in the lungs and cause terrible problems. I realise now it probably is not good to put on the cats anyway. But what can I do for myself to offset any problem? I did a nasal wash and drank some herb tea, what else can I do? I feel so worried about it. Am going to dispose of the rest of the bag so it cannot happen again. Thanks for any advice
