5 daily used things you should never overdose on

in #life6 years ago

Items listed in this list are usually useful and beneficial to health if taken in small amounts. But if we over consume them, you might feel weird high and could be poisonous. They can provide serious damage to your health if overdosed. These substances that you use in your daily routine could land you in hospital.

1. Muscle Cream

Muscle Cream is the first thing you would think about when your muscle aches. But applying too much to your muscle could prove fatal. The substance usually enters the body through the pores of the skins and reacts with muscles and bloodstreams. This was discovered about 10 years ago when a girl died because of Muscle Cream Overdose.

So be aware next time you have a muscle pain. Apply as much as needed.

2. Star Fruit

Star Fruit or Carambola is way harmful than we think. It can seriously damage kidney if too much of it is consumed. People with weak kidney, eating just a small amount could prove harmful enough.

Starfruit has a toxin that can damage internal organs. People with a healthy kidney can filter the toxin. But others could get nausea, insomnia, hiccups and other kidney problems. So it's better to not eat it at all. And if you are eating it, make sure you control yourself.

3. Toothpaste

Toothpaste, a daily used product could prove fatal if swallowed a fat amount of it. In the 1990s, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), made it compulsory to add a poison warning on toothpaste products. It is recommended that only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste should be used for children. Even if 3% of the toothpaste stick is consumed by a child, it can prove fatal.

Also adding to it, when I was 6, I swallowed toothpaste because I used to love its flavor. Eventually, I fell to the ground unconscious and was immediately hospitalized. So yeah its harmful as F.

4. Soy Sauce

So about 5 years ago in 2013, a young boy from Virginia, USA drank almost a liter of soy sauce after his friend dared him. He went into a coma due to the extreme levels of salt in his bloodstream. When our bloodstreams are spiked with salt, they draw water from other parts of the body to equalize the concentration. When there is so much salt in one's body, the bloodstreams started drawing more and more water from the brain. And your brain can shrink and bleed due to lack of water.

Ah, I hate Soya Sauce anyway.

5. Tea

A man in his 50s drank about a quarter of a liter of Ice Tea, every day. After 4 months he went to the doctor after feeling weakness and body pain. Doctors discovered that he had clogged his kidneys. He gonna live is entire life on dialysis now.

There's a chemical called Oxalate in tea. Consuming too much of Oxalate could seriously damage your kidney. Research shows that consuming about four cups of tea every day is safe. Anything more than that could do damage.

Sort:  

I think anything in excessive dose can be harmful. Hell, even water can cause problems if you drink more than your body can hold.

Great stuff man!

it is true. but any thing in this world if we consume more than what we need will lead to harmful effect on our body.
