Handling products sterilised with ethylene oxide

I worked in a company that used ethylene oxide to sterilise products. After they came out of the steriliser I quality controlled by Inspection, handled the products and bundled them for distribution. Can ethylene oxide be absorbed into my skin this way?

No. It’s a gas and will have dissipated by the time you handle the items.
