What to do if one accidentally ingests an expired eyeliner?

Question

Hi doctor,

I accidentally consumed a bit of expired eyeliner and later read that some expired makeup contain harmful substances like bacteria that may lead to infections such as meningitis. What should I do? I am really worried.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

There is no need to worry about this. Because salivary enzymes and gastric acid will destroy it and not let it absorb. So, no need to worry. Just one last question: What is the expiry date?

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
