first of all...don't worry you need to come in constant with the same substance for an extended period of time...second did you know that everything from cords to alarm clocks...to certain types of nail polish have been known to have cancer causing agents...according to the state of California...unless you ingested the ingredients over a very long period of time you have nothing to be concerned over.

You're most likely fine -- if you mean that the liquid is a carcinogen, you need to have a lot higher dosage introduced into the body to cause any chance of cancer. You'd probably have to drink an entire bottle of it for there to be any likelihood of true carcinogenicity.

You will be fine. If there was that great a danger of getting cancer just by being exposed to a grasshopper, you will not have been dissecting grasshoppers in the first place.

You are fine, don't worry.
