I have this table

Antecedent           Consequent
I1                   I2                   
I1                   I1,I2,I3
I1                   I4,I1,I3,I4
I1,I2                I1
I1,I2                I1,I4
I1,I2                I1,I3
I1,I4                I3,I2
I1,I2,I3             I1,I4
I1,I3,I4             I4

AS you can see it's pretty messed up. is there anyway i can remove rows if item in consequent exist in antecedent (in 1 row)

for example: INPUT:

Antecedent           Consequent
I1                   I2                   
I1                   I1,I2,I3    <---- DELETE since I1 exist in antecedent
I1                   I4,I1,I3,I4 <---- DELETE since I1 exist in antecedent
I1,I2                I1          <---- DELETE since I1 exist in antecedent
I1,I2                I1,I4       <---- DELETE since I1 exist in antecedent
I1,I2                I1,I3       <---- DELETE since I1 exist in antecedent
I1,I4                I3,I2       <---- DELETE since I2 exist in antecedent
I1,I2,I3             I1,I4
I1,I3,I4             I4          <---- DELETE since I4 exist in antecedent

OUTPUT:

Antecedent           Consequent
I1                   I2                   
I1,I2,I3             I1,I4

is there anyway i can do that by query?
