Health - Propylhexadrine how safe is the cotton rod?

[DXMBunny]

So swim really wants to know any facts or even opinions on why and how much unsafe eating the cotton in those inhalers is?

to swim he can see it being unsafe and bad for sure but swim thinks how bad can it really be when you eat lots of non edible things daily... so it doesnt seem like very much to swim to hurt to much... arent our bodies strong enough to handle these?

The biggest problem with ingesting cotton is that its texture, coupled with its tendency to expand when moist/wet makes it fairly dangerous to ingest. Your intestines consist of MILES (literally) of twisting, turning, curling, swirling tubeage, which makes it very hard for something with the texture of cotton to make it through. Not to mention the fact that cotton is often treated with all manner of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other hazardous materials.

The biggest risk here is intestinal obstruction or infection, which could ultimately lead to death. Do a lot of people say 'fuck it' and just swallow the cotton? Sure. And the majority of them live to tell about it. But I've heard several tales of projectile vomiting that lasted 16+ hours after ingesting cotton and other horror stories, so why not just soak the cotton in an acidic drink for an hour, squeeze, and drink? It's very effective, cuts down on GI distress, and reduces overall risks of Benzedrex abuse.

There's really no reason to swallow the cotton. It takes 5 minutes to soak it in some coke/oj and drink it down. And you don't taste as much of the oil/menthol this way, since the taste gets diluted and you can follow it with more liquid after you drink.

And not only that, but you come up a lot faster this way because you don't have to wait for your stomach fluids to soak all the juice out of the cotton.

So no one should be complaining about the possible health effects of the cotton since there's really no logical reason to be swallowing the cotton in the first place.
