I am wondering why it is dangerous to touch a hydroxyurea pill when we put it into our mouth and ingest it every day. I can see how a caution for someone not taking this pill may be in order. I put my hydroxyurea along with my other daily pills in a weekly pill holders. I have been taking hydroxyurea for 8 years. I touch them like all my other pills. I have never had any diverse effects. I never allow anyone else to touch them out of caution.
