Is it unsafe to flush my home if I haven't already done so?

Many individuals have been reticent to flush out the chemicals from their system. According to Dr. Andrew Whelton of the University of South Alabama, there are negative impacts that can come from not flushing, including MCHM soaking into the pipes so that it takes longer to remove it as well as potentially harming the pipes. Dr. Whelton also recommends opening the windows and doors of the house when flushing. He does not say that it is necessary to remove children and pets from the home while flushing, but says that he would take his son out of the house if he were in that situation.
