does dry battery acid from like double aa batteries cause cancer? i have ocd with batteries for some reason and i came across a wii remote with leaked batteries. my dad told me that battery acid causes cancer but i can't really find any articles online that says that battery acid causes cancer. can anyone enlighten me and help alleviate my worries? thanks.

so i opened the battery compartment on my wii remote and found that the batteries had leaked and the battery acid was dry. i freaked out because i get paranoid with battery acid. i accidentally put my hands near my mouth (stupid i know) because i started to panic. i washed my hands for like 2 hours literally because i feel like acid is still in my hands. however, i didn't feel any burn on my hands or didn't taste anything in my mouth. could i have ingested dry battery acid? if i did ingest the dry battery acid, will it harm me? could it cause cancer? i'm freaking out and feel really dumb. please help!

so i went to get my blood work done today and i had to sit on a chair to get my blood drawn. right behind my chair was those containers where you put the used needles in. my little cousin was with me when i got my blood drawn. he's curious so he saw the container and asked me what it was. i said "it's nothing, don't worry about it." and he was so curious about it that he put his hand in it. i started to freak out. i looked inside and there was needles with the plastic tubes with blood in it. i told my cousin to wash his hands immediately. is there a risk for him to get hiv because he stuck his hand in the container with the needles?

so my dad bought these bread pastries and the top is sprinkled with sugar. i'm trying to eat healthy so i didn't want to eat it. i took the bread and smelled it because i was so tempted to eat it. so instead of eating it, i licked the bread and just put it back. LOL. but the thing is, i'm worried that i just gained pounds from licking it because i licked the sugar from the bread and isn't sugar bad for you? should i just eat the pastry?

okay so ever since i was a little kid, i've been paranoid about batteries. like everything about them scares me. it all started when my dad told me to wash my hands after touching the battery of a camera as if could cause cancer. i would be scared to touch batteries and would take like hours washing my hands if i did touch it. i am now 18 years old and my ocd was gone for a few months but now recently i feel it coming back. it came back after i opened the battery compartment of a remote control and saw the dry battery acid. i started to freak out and washed my hands. now i have the need to check every thing that has batteries and see if it has leaked. i also have this weird thing where i feel like i'm going to swallow a battery every time i drink from a cup because i feel like a battery can accidentally be dropped into it. i dunno, i'm really weird but it's been stressing me out a lot recently. like i'm seriously scared of batteries because i feel like i could get cancer if i don't wash my hands thoroughly after accidentally touching battery acid. and another obsession has come about vision loss and cataracts. i never really wore sunglasses as a kid so i'm scared of losing my vision to cataracts because my eyes were always exposed to the sun as a kid and feel like damage has already been done but i went to get a eye check-up recently because my right eye is blurrier than my left eye and the eye doctors never told me anything about cataracts when they tested my eyes. help plz?

Am i being paranoid?

so like i'm already like OCD about everything. anyways, today i realized that i never wore sunglasses as a child. i'm 18 now. i suddenly remember my spanish teacher telling us how she got a cataract from not protecting her eyes from the sun. now i don't know if i'm just being OCD but i'm starting to freak out because i feel like i already damaged my eyes from never wearing sunglasses before. i don't know why i never wore sunglasses. should i worry about cataracts? my vision in my left eye is fine but i need to wear contacts and glasses for my right eye because i have a lazy eye or something. i feel like my eyes are developing cataracts. i'm gonna go buy some sunglasses now and start wearing them. should i be worrying about cataracts?

so i just got my license like last week. i was making a right turn on a red light at an intersection and there was a camera. i made a right turn and i saw the camera flash once. does that mean i got a ticket? i stopped and looked both sides before making a right turn. i'm like pretty frustrated out because my parents are gonna freak! how much is the fine? when will i get the ticket?

So I had a pen that is also a flashlight and has batteries inside. I took it out and noticed some white powder in it. I opened the pen and it was dry battery acid. I started to freak out and cleaned everything I think had battery acid. Should I be worried about it? Should I just throw away my pencil pouch and everything in it or should I just clean everything? I also accidentally put the pen in my mouth because I was using it. Will anything happen to me since I was exposed to the battery acid? What do I do? Help please.

i'm like ocd about batteries and them leaking for some reason. i opened the battery compartment on my remote control to see and they looked normal. the remote control was working fine before, i just wanted to check it randomly. i took the batteries out and they looked fine, the wrapper was not damaged or anything and it was still sealed. i put my finger inside the compartment and saw like five tiny white specks. i thought it was just debris and i looked at one of the ends of the batteries and saw like a few tiny white specks as well. at first, i didn't care at all and i just put the batteries back in the remote control and went on with my day without washing my hands. now i'm starting to freak out because i feel like it was dry battery acid but the remote control was working fine and the batteries looked like it was sealed and the wrapper wasn't damaged. i stuck my finger that i put in the battery compartment in my mouth, if it was battery acid, would anything happen to me? could it have been just white debris? am i being paranoid for no reason?

if a battery leaks, can it still work? i opened my remote control and inspected the batteries. the batteries seemed still intact and fine but i stuck my finger inside the battery compartment and tiny white specks appeared and i looked at one end of the battery and saw like a little bit of white specks but it didn't seem like it leaked. was it just debris? if a battery leaks and the acid dries out, can it still work? i'm like OCD right now because i didn't wash my hands after touching it because i didn't think it was battery acid but now I'm starting to wonder and freak out a bit. LOL can someone relieve me right now please?

so i've been buying vans sneakers in size 9 and i don't know if they're too big. my feet are kinda wide so i need to size up a bit. the space between my big toe and the front of the shoe is a width of a thumb. is that too much space? what do you guys think? how much room do you guys need in your shoes?

okay so i'm going to be a senior in high school and thinking about college is scaring me. i don't think any colleges are going to accept me. my GPA junior year was about 3.0 to 3.3 and my SAT score was a 1300 but i'm going to retake it and aim around 1500 probably. i'm on the water polo team (junior varsity) and it's going to be my 3rd year playing and i've been on the swim team for 3 years and will be swimming my last year this coming school year. i'm also in the filipino club and i'm an officer this upcoming school year and i've been in the club since freshman year. i was planning on applying to cal state long beach and cal state fullerton as my top 2 schools that i really wanna go but i'm not sure if they will accept me. recently i thought about applying to ucla but i don't think they will accept me. do you think i can get into cal state? what about ucla? and also i applied last year to be on asb but didn't get in, if i were to be accepted into asb and dropped water polo, would being in asb only my senior help me a lot to getting accepted in college as opposed to being in a sport for all 4 years even though i wasn't on varsity? what do you guys think? i'm terrified that i won't be accepted into a college.

is it really easy to swallow aa or aaa battery or do you actually have to try to swallow it? and if you do how soon would you have the symptoms from it? i was just wondering.

can anyone give me a swim workout to follow? so far on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays i have water polo practice from 5:30-8:00 and i don't do anything on tuesdays and thursdays so can anyone make me on for those 2 days?

okay so i have water polo practice every day at 5:30 in the morning, i have a friend in water polo who lives very close to me. last summer, i practically took him to EVERY practice and games because he lives really close to me but i don't mind because he's a nice guy. however, i had to call him every single morning to wake him up and it's getting kinda annoying doing it. now this summer, he asked me to give him rides if he needs them and all and of course i said sure because i don't mind. i just hate having to call him or text him first. shouldn't he be the one to text me first when he's ready or if he ever needs a ride? should i continue to text/call him in the morning and wait for his reply or just wait for him to text/call me first?

so i left the kitchen for like literally 2 minutes to go to the nearby bathroom to wash my hands and when i come back, i see my dog eating on a hamburger and it had pieces of onions and i tried to take it but she would growl at me and so i figured why not to just let her eat it. i honestly had no idea that onions were toxic to dogs and i know i'm an irresponsible dog owner but i seriously had no idea until my mom told me later and i take full responsibility of it and i'm really upset right now and frustrated because i feel like i could've prevented her from eating the hamburger. she's an american akita and she's like 80-90 pounds. she ate the burger like 3-4 hours ago and she seems like her normal self. how long until she starts showing symptoms? what should i do? please help and no mean comments please!

so i recently applied to be in ASB and i didn't make it... it's been like almost a month since they announced the results but i still feel a bit disappointed... i REALLY wanted it. i would've been okay with not getting it but the reason why i'm really sad is that it was my last chance to make it since i'm a junior now and i'm going to be a senior next year. it was my first and only chance to try out and i regret not trying out before. i was on student council in middle school so that made me want to be in ASB in high school. for some reason i really wanted to get in ASB this year because before i didn't care because i loved water polo (i'm on the water polo team). now i don't know how to deal with it. i felt like ASB would've been a great family to be a part of because i don't feel that way in water polo, there's too much drama and i don't feel close to my teammates (only some though). i'm not even going to be in varsity so i thought why not go for ASB and kinda got my hopes up a bit too high because i really wanted to get in. it sucks that i didn't make it and i wish i could go back to change some stuff i did. you guys have any advice? i can't even enjoy water polo anymore because all i'm thinking about is how i didn't make it and how i'm never going to have the chance to get in.
