thanks phantomlimb7. so if a cleaning substance was found in her blood the only way for it to get there is for it to be ingested correct?

A solvent is a liquid that dissolves a solid, liquid, or gaseous solute, resulting in a solution. The most common solvent in everyday life is water. You would also find find ethanol, if you ingested an alcoholic beverage. Dry cleaning solvent, while it is an organic compound, is not found in living organisms as a by product of metabolism. It's derived from petroleum products.

Ingested, inhaled, absorbed through skin.
If your mother-in-law doesn't work around cleaning solvents, she shouldn't leave her water bottle or her mug or coffee unattended around her co-workers.
