Can ink poisoning really kill you, or just hurt you?

It can certainly kill you because it is toxic.

Yes, in fact, they can be deadly.  Taking a precribed pain killer over a long period of time puts you at risk for a prescription dependency if you aren't already now and the pain meds themselves become tolerated by your own system until you will no longer be able to rid the pain without increasing the dosage or changing the medication to a stronger rx.  If you take the medication to treat pain as it comes then you may also find yourself masking a totally different medical condition that requires attention by a professional and not a "do it yourself prescribed treatment".  The effects on your body itself from the daily use of almost any medication can have negative reactions to your organs and even the make-up of your immune system.  And, that "everything is perfect" and the "pain is all gone" feeling that comes with the relief of chronic pain...when a pain medication becomes tolerant in your system there is no relief in the end.  I took some of the strongest pain medications for years, all prescribed legitimately and the day I treated a pain I shouldn't have it almost killed me.

people who do it repeatedly, and without seriously wanting to kill themselves, are generally crying out for help, frustrated and are unable to express their self hatred. it does not generally mean they are suicidal. this is more common in feamles than males, and often the result of sexual abuse that leaves them feeling dirty, ashamed and full of self hatred, hence the desire to harm themselves.\n\nmany people who overdose are not intentionall overdosing, just not good at self mediacting, or plain greedy, and often become violent and abusive when ambulance staff revive them.

It is bad, but it likely won't kill you.\nTruly, alchohol is a poison, so be extremely careful with it..\nhonestly I don't advice using the stuff myself.

I'm a hospital tech, and I cannot give you specifics due to Hippa laws but I can tell you this:\nI was in the ER with a patient that had overdosed. The body rejects all poisons and therefore the person was asphyixiating, hemorraging, and experiencing aneurisms.\nOn top of this, we had to run several IV's and strap the person down as they were screaming in severe pain.\nSo in my opinion, it can be a very painful death.

Am I missing something here again:  Isn't 'speed' some sort of Amphetamine sulphate?.  Therefore I would suggest that if you overdosed, it would kill.  Still it would be far better than driving a car fast into a brick wall.

Wow! that's a lot! you must have really been hurting? I think you need something better to control your pain. \nwatch for these side effects: \nacute depression (crying spell)\nabdominal pain\nshortness of breath\ndrowsiness\nirregular heart beat\nlow blood pressure\nnausea/vomiting\nseizures\nkidney failure\nIn case of an overdose you should always seek medical attention right away! It is very dangerous!

it would probably be really painful.  Might burn mouth, throat, stomach.\n\nIt would probably make you sick or kill you, depending on how much you consumed.\n\nthere are different "recipes" for embalming fluid; the fatal dose would probably vary.

Yeah... a couple of examples: too little in the way of some vitamins will kill you.  Not enough C= scurvy, which is deadly (immune system compromise and other things) and affected many English sailors.  Not enough D= rickets, which could possibly be fatal to a young child from loss of bone mass.  Not enough B1 (thiamine)= beriberi, which is a systemic disorder something like scurvy that can kill.  Not enough protein= kwashiorkor, which is also lethal.\n\nAlso, too much A can burn up your liver (so can acetaminophen, which is Tylenol).  Too much B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) can cause nerve damage.  Too much D or calcium can cause calcium stones, which aren't fatal, but if you get one in your kidneys and can't urinate as a result, you'll wish you were dead.  I am sure there are others, too... and if you drink too much water, as some people who are compulsive do, you can actually drown yourself... :)

i don't think you have anything to worry about.  Too much of anything is dangerous, one guy killed himself by drinking too much water and not going to the bathroom.  Basically, to drink too much green tea to hurt you, you would probably have to drink it all day every day for a while without going to the bathroom.

you need to report this to the college of pharmacy. It will be in the phone book. This is very serious they could have killed you . Don't wait report it imediately, before they kill some one.  My daughter nearly died in a similar insident. I reported it and they disaplined the pharmacist.

No... Hell no, Kurt Cobain did NOT kill himself... a few short reasons why not. At the scene, they found him in a chair, with a shotgun wound to the head, his paraphinallia put away nicely, and a box of shotgun shells next to his dead body... He had injected some heroin, put away his drug stuff, and shot himself in the face and a nice and ordlery way... Whatever, He had injected himself 3 times the lethal dose of heroin, enough to where no amount resistance could save you. The amount (775mgs) 4.56 mgs per liter. That amount would send any body relative to his size and weight, into direct shock, cardiac arrest, and many other comatose-like ailments. Not only on medical term, but on a social one as well, anyone who does heroin, if they do enough to get a really strong effect, they do NOT put away they're paraphinallia nice and neat. They just leave it out... Now, about the shotgun (a remington 20-gauge), How come when they examined it for fingerprints, it came up clean? None whatsoever. Let's say I'm wrong about the heroin, and he did kill himself, then how do you explain the actual possiblity that he had shot himself in the face, and somehow, before he died, managed to wipe it clean, erasing all fingerprints, without bleeding on it anywhere other than the barrell? And my final point for now, I am not wrong about the Heroin, I am a medical student, and with the conditions that amount of heroin would throw you in, there is now physical way you could remain conscious, let alone alert enough to 1)put away your paraphinallia and 2) put a trigger to your body and pull it.... My belief is that Courtney Love got somebody to shoot him... To murder him... She was in another city (A set-up alibi), another man reported her asking him to murder kurt, and magically he was found dead soon after reporting it. Courtney Love had NEVER suggested Kurt Cobain to be 'suicidal' until AFTER his death... Kurt had told many of his personal friends that he was in fact, NOT suicidal... His music potrays this with lines such as 'and I swear I don't have a gun' and 'cuz I found god'.. He was a wonderful person and Courtney Love had him murdered, and then they had cleaned the scene... I've included my source of information. Please check it out, and then we all should print the flyers, pass the out, and get this case reopened... The American Justice system should NOT be allowed to let another person walk free with murder simply because of their current, or at once, 'Celebrity-Status'...

Yes, just like anything else - a jab, a poke or a blow from a blunt instrument - hurts worse depending on what part of your body is hit. The tattoo I got on my arm when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer did not hurt much. Some people I met in Borneo had one on their throats, from point the collar bones meet up to the Adam's apple. They hurt a lot.

the only thing that will kill you is the fact that you are ingesting an illegal substance...drugs are not illegal because someone decided to make them that way for the hell of it...they are illegal because they are dangerous and have adverse effects on your health

I don't think that having poison ivy in your mouth would kill you. It would probably just give them a rash in your mouth, but I couldn't find anything to said if it was in a liquid form. Most places listed it as the leaf form, or you had it on your fingers and touched the inside of your mouth. I would bet brewing the ivy might make it less of an irritant? Just guessing. Also, not everyone is even allergic to poison ivy. I even read one report that if you ingest poison ivy over a certain period of time, you will become immune to it!

If you took enough to make yourself pass out then you did overdose. Meaning took more than the recommended amount. Very dangerous\n\n\n\nWhy are you trying to hurt yourself? You wont get a buzz from doing stupid stuff like that you will be more likely to hurt yourself. Not kill but have horrible ramifacations that could last a lifetime. You think your life is bad or was bad? Wait until you have to have medical treatment for what you have done to yourself. I am only telling you this because I care. I don't know you but I do care. Please talk to someone. You don't have to tell them what you did but talk to them about what you are going through so you don't let this happen again.
