What will eye drops really do if ingested?


In the movie Wedding Crashers the eye drops make the guy sick, but I saw a Law and Order I think SVU where they killed a lady..so I am confused. I think they just killed the lady because they do something to blood vessels and she had issues or was just old. I don't know, hopefully one of you does.

What do you do when you get really angry? grieving?



Answers:
Law and Order is closer to the truth than Wedding Crashers. The link below has the information you need. Eyedrops are dangerous when ingested. That's why the bottle tells you to seek medical help if you (or a child) accidentally swallows any of this substance.

This only applies to medicated drops, like Visine. Saline drops are not dangerous. A drop or two would probably not be dangerous, but a bottle's worth could be.

I suppose it depends on what kind of eye-drop we are talking about. The normal saline solution type, that are in an isotonic state (basically are just salted water) shouldn't harm you. But if it is some kind of prescription, it may make you sick.

What can I do to stop the itch of black ant bites?

It depends on the eye drops -- some just contain saline solution, which would not be toxic. However, drops like Visine contain a chemical called tetrahydrozoline which can be fatal if you ingest enough of it (and if you only ingest a little, it will make you sick). My guess is that this is the type of eyedrops in both the movie and the TV show.

I saw an advert for apply once a day suncream, but cant find it again. Anyone know what it is?

They're made to constrict (make smaller) blood vessels. So when your organs aren't getting any or enough blood, they shut down and go into failure. When your digestive system isn't working, It's "2 exits, no waiting". So you 'expell' what's left. Septic shock can happen, when toxins build up in the body. If enough of the eye drops get into your blood stream, and constrict your cardio vascular system, it can mean trouble, from a high pulse, high blood pressure, which makes your heart work over time, and can send you into all sorts of cardio problems. So yea, it can be bad.

Visine can hurt you but not too many others. Just don't eat them.
