I got sprayed with anti-icing chemicals!

was getting off a flight.... as a bunch of us were walking down the RJ, a nearby RJ was getting de-iced. The wind was very strong and we got sprayed with a fine mist of the de-icing chemicals. Smells funky.(duh) The FA who was still standing on the plane told us to move on because we were blocking the people who were still on plane. The United GA walked up to us and led us into the terminal.

they told us that we could go to the rest rooms and use paper towels to wipe off the stuff. We didn't know any better, so we did.... I usually question everything, but I was running extremely late for my connecting flight. Barely got to the connecting gate and I as the last to board. The FA commented about my smell. She said "de-icer?" which implies that she knew the smell pretty well. The she said "you should really have been de-contaminated so you don't end up with it on your skin!" When I told her there were 6 or 7 others who got sprayed, she acted very shocked.

Two hours later, I arrived at my hotel and took a LOOOONG shower and scrubbed myself. I kept thinking of MeryleStreep in "Silkworm" but obviously I didn't scrub that hard.

So... am I fine now? Or should I do anything of the following? (1) seeking medical attendtion, (2) call my family attorney, (3) find out what human mutant offsprints will look like, or (4) ignore everything?
