Contradicting Instructions

[TheOneBigWill]

Okay, so I just got some Orasol Gel meds for a sore in my mouth. The instructions say, and I quote, the following..

"Apply to the affected areas of the mouth up to 4 times daily, or as directed by a dentist or a doctor."

Then, under warnings below this, it says..

"If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away."

So I'm suppose to apply the meds to the affected area in my MOUTH.. yet I'm NOT suppose to put the meds IN my mouth, for fear of swallowing poison?

No wonder Doctor's take 7 (plus) years in college before becoming certified.. this shit is confusing.

It's a special trick then...you gotta put something in your mouth...without swallowing any of it...good luck

You should get the poison center's number first though

I'm sure the 'Do Not Swallow' thing is just a vice to deter young chillin's away from swallowing that delicious-sounding gel. But, this is assuming that young children can read...

Just don't swallow for the duration that the gel is in your mouth...can't be that hard...

I'm gonna randomly go on a limb and say the "contact if swallowed" part is more or less meaning..

Call them if you're a dumb-fuck who just swallowed the entire bottom, for no purpose other than to see if you could. Which if thats the case.. I need to make a phone call, I'll brb...

You'd think so, but sadly no.. people constantly swallow without even knowing they do. Spit drains down the back of the throat more often than people realize. If this stuff is truly liquid form, then it'll mix and I wouldn't know the difference until I have a tag on my toe and no one attends my funeral.

Like I said...can't be that hard not to swallow. You just need to say 'Spit...don't slide down my throat' and it'll listen. Then you can say 'Alright, have all the fun you want now...oh shit! I didn't rinse!' and before you know it, you're being called a moron by the poison help line.

And as for the last comment Will. I. Am., I have one thing to say..

EMO!
