How toxic is deodorant?

[mickysnail]

I am wondering how toxic deodorant is to snails. I am always so careful when it come sto sprays but my sister not noing much about snails sprayed quite alot of deodorant in the bedroom. My snails are kept right next to the bedroom door. I know this might seem a stupid thing to think about. The snails seem fine at the moment. Any thoughts? mickysnail

i wouldnnt think that it would do the snails any good =/
if it were me i would be on the safe side and either tell everyone who sprays deoderant near the snails to do it somewhere else or just move the snails
hope i helped a lil bit

Well as it is done now the only thing you can do is just observe the snails, I would def. open all windows though and let some fresh air in.

I remember ages ago someone on cybersnail mentioned a room mate had sprayed deoderant which must have directly got into their tank and it caused spots of the body that came into contact to burn. The snails recovered. It don't think it would kill them unless they came heavily into contact with it. Snails are very sensitive to most chemicals.

I use joss sticks and oil burners to fragrance the room my snails are in, to ensure there's no risk.

Thanks all. I opened the windows and shut the bedroom door straight away. Just checked on them again they seem fine. I don't know if i explained properly, The snails are kept by the bedroom door on the other side. just outside the bedroom. It was antiperserant deodorant not room deodorant. I know that snails are really sensitive. This why have been so worried.mickysnail
