i posted about this on the fempire as it happened, and essentially, i am really careless.
to treat cystic acne, ie to dry the hell out of it, i would dab tea tree oil onto my face but i'd use a drenched cotton swab or tissue. and i'd do it while my face was still wet. and i'd use it right above my mouth and under my nose. so that one time, a slightly diluted drop of tea tea oil got into my mouth and then i experienced numbness from the waist down and light headedness for half an hour.
i tried using the fempire as poison control (i emailed the local poison authority too, they responded to me a whole month later lol) while panicking but it was luckily not that bad. unfortunately i did not learn because i had minor repeats of this until the tea tree oil expired and my mom threw it out. i'm currently considering buying a bottle again!

well duly noted, i am not going to fuck around with my tea tree oil
that sounds scary, i knew these were strong chemicals but i didn't know they could numb half your body

it depends on your body weight and the amount ingested but it can indeed send you into a coma!! it's toxic and really effective on pimples

tell me what happened. how did this happen. hypothetically, as someone who just poisoned themselves recently and would like to avoid it but also owns tea tree oil
