Many calls to the poison center involve people who use the product first and read the directions afterward. According to the label, the affected area (the area that is sore in the mouth or throat) is supposed to be sprayed and then “allowed to remain in place for at least 15 seconds, then spit out”. However, most people swallow the spray instead of spitting it out. We also get calls about children being found with the bottle after spraying the product into their mouths or on their skin. Consequently, this may cause minor irritation to the skin or inside of the mouth. And, if swallowed, it can cause a minor upset stomach. Sometimes, it is sprayed into the eyes, which causes burning and stinging. Note: If the spray has gotten into the eyes, rinse with water and call the Missouri Poison Center right away for additional instructions.
