Just How Much Visine Does It Take To Kill Someone?

Ha! Thanks for the fact-checking. :smiley:

I guess in real life, Owen would’ve went home alone.

Somehow I think I could have lived my entire life without acquiring that image. What i would have missed without the SD!

But never use the same bottle in your facial openings afterward. You will likely get a nasty case of stink-eye or brown-nose.

Slate’s advice columnist, Dear Prudence, had someone write in several years ago about his monstrous mother-in-law, and one of her offenses was making a disliked relative sick at dinner with Visine in his food. DP took the letter at face value and advised as to how to deal with such a literally toxic individual. She did not investigate the plausibility of such a poisoning.

So did we ever answer the OP?

I’m going with what Oredigger and Quadgop said.

I think we lack hard and precise evidence as to what the minimum amount to kill an adult is. But given how gravely ill consuming 2-3 ml made some toddlers, it would not surprise me to find that 10 ml could kill some adults.

Damn, that’s frightening
