Hi,

with a few drops I would not be so scared.. also EtBr is sensitive to light and oxygen, therefore I guess you'll be fine, too:)) Just next time be more careful, nobody really knows how carcinogenic that stuff is, maybe it is weak, maybe not, important thing is that you don't get exposed to it again and again:))

Ahaha, just a funny coincidence, after replying to your mail I splashed EtBr from the staining bath to my face... I washed it immediately, but I hope it is not penetrating that much into the cells:(

Basak, please be careful :)

Did you know they used to put EtBr in margarine in some european countries to make it go yellow...?

Why do they want margarine to be yellow anyways???

I guess also in some countries they still use to to cure viral infections..

I won't eat margarine anymore :)
