Painting

Question
Hello,
I wondered if the liquid paints with water used by children (watercolours) could contain Pseudomonas aerugionsa?
Is there a deadline after opening?

Thank you
Answer
Hello
I have not seen any studies on this topic and it doesn’t exist for the moment any report about a case of infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa by watercolours.
I think you have to wash hands every time before and after the event (this is often the case after painting) and to avoid painting on the mouth. Enjoy your artistic session!
