Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2017

Question: I ate a bowl of oatmeal . I thought it tasted a little different then I realized someone did not wash the bowl well. It had some Palmolive soft soap left in it. will I be ok?

Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but there is no need to worry as soft soap is considered toxic only if ingested in large quantities . From what I understand you only ingested traces of softsoap , which is not expected to cause any serious symptoms . However, you might experience naseau or loose motions which can be relieved by metochlopramide (primperane ) and imoduim. I hope I answered your question, if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
