Hi,

Thanks for the query.

First of all I am sorry as I could not attend the query when you needed it the most.
Pheyl poisoning depends on the quantity consumed. Generally there are corrosive effects of the phenyl and it should better be attended at emergency. Generally charcoal is given to reduce the absorption. Most people get better soon.

Death results after ingestions of 1 to 32 g of phenyl.

I hope you should get a review by a physician if you had not done it yet.
