Well, like most of you I too just swallowed a lot of ink out of my trusted pen… whilst on the phone to a customer!!! my bottom lip is now stained blue, my teeth I have just about managed to scrub up but the end of my tounge still has a slightly wierd taste / tingly sensation… I hope that the ink washes off of it some way or another!!! I have tried to scrub it off with a finger nail for the last 10 minutes!! =[

Well it is 2:30 in the morning and I was working on a school project cramming 2 days before school starts when i accedentaly suck on the end of the pen and a crapload of ink goes into my mouth, I am smart enough not to swallow for fear of getting horribly sick or dieing and so I go into the bathroom and wash my mouth out with soap and scrup it until my tounge is raw. When i had finished scrubbing I immediatly went to the computer (and not my parents haha) and searched the subject, this came up and I am thanking god right now, with my mouth closed and still not swallowing, but atleast I know i will be fine.

Glad to know my 6 y/o and I won’t be taking a trip to the ER.

1. Rinse mouth out with water.
2. Rinse mouth out with water, again.
3. Take pen away from adolescent.
4. Slap adolescent.
5. Remove adolescent’s retainer, throw in garbage, ask “What did you do?” four more times.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what happened. :p

Like many of the others who’s had to deal with the whole “ink in the mouth” fiasco; I immediately googled the subject -after “thoroughly cleansing” my toddlers mouth; which was covered in ink- and this was the first thing to come up. I had a strong sense that this episode did not require a trip to the local “ER” but as a mom you could never be to sure….plus the wait time to talk to an nurse on “Telehealth” -in my experience- is much, much to long.

Thanks for providing the confirmation I needed at that stresfsul moment.

i’ve had many many manyyy ink related accidents, i never really thought anything of it really. Just rinsed my mouth out and ignored it. Super glue on your lips is a lot less fun.
