Will this hurt me?
« on: January 16, 2008, 05:04:26 PM »
Will eating a couple of charcoal briquets (Kingsford brand to be specific) hurt or kill me?  Serious question.

Charcoal is often used to soak up poisons in the stomach... I don't know the ratio however.

Probably not a good idea dude. Why would you want to do this?

kingsford and such products are ready to light as they say and not a very good food choice. It's a different charcoal, a more pure form, that's used medicinally for the stomach. Consider the fact that they emit carbon monoxide when ablaze before you chow down on a few nuggets.

Thanks for the responses!  Actually, the other night my dog came in the living room with one in his mouth and then swallowed it whole right in front of me.  I went to the back of the house where the bag was stored and the bag had a giant hole in it.  Half the briquets  were gone.   I took him to the vet and he is fine but it got me thinking - he lived, but would a human?

I ate two of them.

Imagine coating a marshmallow in pepto-bismol and dirt and then burning it to a crisp.  Kind of like that.

You ate the ones from your dogs gut?

At least get the Mesquite brand, might be a bit more flavorful that dog goo....

Agreed. Just eat the regular dogfood like a normal person does.
