A goitrogenic effect (enlargement of the thyroid gland) has been reported for chronic exposure
(Chronic means constant for long periods of time)
It takes about a gram of pure thiourea to kill the average rat.
You came into contact with enough thiourea to kill a gnat on its last leg.
does it burn or redness or itch? if not i think you should be fine if you start feeling dizzy or bad pain in your hand you might need to see someone fast.
