WWYD: exposure to chemicals at work

For the next four weekends my job will be spraying to get rid of bedbugs Chat Icon they have been nice enough to relocate me to a different floor.

However, I will not have access to a kitchen where I normally use the fridge, microwave and water cooler.

Do you think, since they are being so nice to accomodate me it would look bad if I came up once or twice a day to use the kitchen? Do you think it is safe to do so?

Or, should I just start buying food/water here (from a downstairs cafeteria) for this month. In order to do THIS I would have to ask for special permission to run down through out the day.

What do we work in the same building?!
This JUST happened to me on Monday!
Our floor was sprayed and I couldn't be relocated to another floor so I chose to stay home the day after they sprayed. They sprayed Monday night and I worked from home Tuesday.
I was still really uncomfortable going to work, but my OB said "nobody really sprays with anything very toxic anymore, so it should be fine"
Yet eating a ham sandwich is dangerous Chat Icon
If they put you on another floor, I would stay off the floor until the spraying is done.

ETA-The spraying was for bed bugs too....sooooo gross!

Thanks for answering and EWWWWWW!

How gross are bedbugs? I strip my Bed every Saturday and check the whole mattress - I swear if I get them I am going to freak out!! I am so itchy!

Good Luck, hope this works for you - this is our THIRD ROUND. Chat Icon
