Granule fertilizer
Had landscaper add new soil and seed next to new driveway. Told me to be sure all the granules are swept off can pit new driveway. Tonight did one final sweep and came across a few granules that would not move so I picked them up and threw them on the lawn. Then later thought about how stupid that was, washed hands thoroughly, but wondered what might be a good thing to wash with to neutralize the action of the granules??? Unable to find any information on the net. Wonder if any QB friends might know the answer to this question?

if you are in a hurry to know, not in this instance, perhaps, i would think you could call poison control hotline. as long as you know what the poison is they can pretty much tell you how scared you need to be and whether you need to call 911 or you can just wash your hands. good luck.

Wash thoroughly with Dawn dishsoap, rinse well, then rinse again, then do a scrub with baking soada. Good luck, and don't worry too much about it. Just know that one of the chemicals in the pellets as a corosive in it and can cause problems with the driveway

As someone suggested I did contact my landscaper and he said soap and water would be fine. What I actually did was soap, water, and a quick soda scrub. Interesting fact was that the skin peeled slightly on my finger and thumb that I used. So even though the exposure was limited, it did cause a slight reaction. I was lucky and lesson learned WEAR GLOVES!!!! Thanks to all that replied!!!
