Definitely not! nail polish contains toxic chemicals! Why do you think it smells so strong? Just look up the chemicals that are found in it.


roberto
no

Most nail polishes are made of nitrocellulose dissolved in a solvent and either left clear or colored with various pigments. Basic components included are: film forming agents, resins and plasticizers, solvents, and coloring agents.

Nail polish makers have been under pressure to reduce or eliminate potentially toxic ingredients, including phthalates, toluene, and formaldehyde, from their nail polish. In September 2006, several makers agreed to phase out dibutyl phthalate, which has been linked to testicular problems in lab animals and humans, in updated formulations. Though some makers recently agreed to eliminate formaldehyde from their products, others still use the chemical.


Scott Bull
No, sheesh, what a numnuts, and why would you want it.

You talk about ignorant people scaring you, don't you find this the slightest bit hippicritical.


hiba
try and see


jgbgirl
These are the typical ingredients found in nail polish, just by looking them over I can tell you they are not safe to eat!

ethyl acetate
butyl acetate
nitrocellulose
isopropyl alcohol
polyester resin
dibutyl phthalate
styrene/acrylates copolymer
stearalkonium hectorite
stearalkonium bentonite
benzophenone-1
calcium pantothenate

Just wondering.....why would you eat nail polish?

Definition

This poisoning is from swallowing or breathing in (inhaling) nail polish.

Poisonous Ingredient

Butyl acetate
Ethyl acetate
Dibutyl phthalate
Where Found

Various fingernail polishes
Note: This list may not be all inclusive.
Symptoms

Bladder and kidney
Increased need to urinate
Eyes, ears, nose, and throat
Eye irritation and possible cornea damage
Lungs
Difficulty breathing
Slowed breathing rate
Shortness of breath
Gastrointestinal
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Nervous system
Drowsiness
Coma
Stupor
Whole body
Acting as if drunk (intoxicated)
Home Care

Do not make the person throw up. Seek immediate emergency medical care.

Before Calling Emergency

Determine the following information:

The patient's age, weight, and condition
The name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
The time it was swallowed
The amount swallowed
Poison Control

The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.

This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the U.S. use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.

See National Poison Control center.

What to Expect at the Emergency Room

The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. The patient may receive:

Medicines to treat symptoms
A nasogastric (NG) tube thru the nose into the stomach to empty the stomach (gastric lavage)
Medicines to treat an allergic reaction (diphenhydramine, epinephrine, or prednisone)
Endoscopy -- the placement of a camera down the throat to see the extent of burns to the esophagus and the stomach
Irrigation (washing of the skin), perhaps every few hours for several days
Skin debridement (surgical removal of burned skin)
Outlook (Prognosis)

With any toxic exposure, ingestion, or allergic reaction, recovery and prognosis depend on the how much of the poison was swallowed and how quickly the patient received treatment. Nail polish tends to come in small bottles, so serious poisoning is unlikely if only one bottle was swallowed. However, always seek immediate emergency medical care.

Some people intentionally sniff nail polish to become intoxicated (drunk) by the fumes. Over time these people, as well as those working in poorly ventilated nail salons, can develop a condition known as "painter's syndrome." This is a permanent condition that causes walking problems, speech problems, and memory loss.

you should contact a poison center or something so it could get outta the system.

Eating nail polish is a VERY bad idea. It's not good for you. I'd advise against it. It'll only make you sick.

No it is not safe. It contains certain ingredients that are harmful to your body (not necessarily causing you to die).

Noooo it's NOT safe!!!


chocolatemoose
why would you eat nail polish?
and the answer is, NO


la bombera
idk
but contact your local poison control center just in case
stay calm and also check out any warning labels on the bottle


i'm guessing it's probably not fatal, b/c girls paint their nails & then bite their nails, etc.
