Is Accidental Swallowing Of Calamine Lotion Harmful?
My partner, a 69 yr old woman in good health, just swallowed a small amount (1/2 tsp. approx.) of Calamine Lotion; 8% calamine, 8% Zn oxide. She has no apparent effects, just the off-taste. Suggestions? Should she take a tsp of cider vinegar? Thank you for your YYYY@YYYY
