Can my cat get sick if she licks herself after I touched laundry pods?

Question

Mental note to wash my hands in the future so I don't freak out/have a possible future accident. But as long as the laubdry pod was not broken or punctured, and she didn't lick the actual pod. I'm asking to just be 100% sure. If I touched the pods then grabbed my cat to carry her out the laundry room. Nothing bad can happen to her if she licks herself correct?

Miracle should be absolutely fine!! As long as the pod was intact when you handled them, there is minimal risk of poisoning your cat after handling them and then handling her. I love your plan to make a habit of washing your hands after handling laundry detergent - better safe than sorry in the future, if a pod is inadvertently broken. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
