Soap suds are coming out of the overflow area of my bathroom sink. I exclusively wash my hands in this sink. I do wash my hands frequently and perhaps this has caused some residual soap scum to remain in there. Is this a problem? Will the soap get into the pipes for other sinks, like the kitchen sink?
When I run the water for a bit, the soap stops coming. However, if I use a tiny bit of soap, then the suds start coming out of the overflow area again. I am concerned, being that I am pregnant, that the vent is clogged and sewer gases are being released. Is this a valid concern? And if so, how bad is that? Is it bad that I've been using this sink to wash my hands if this is the case? Have I essentially contaminated everything in my home? I have also read that there is a lot of bacteria in the sink overflow. I just want to make sure that nothing detrimental has been caused by this. If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
