can't tell really, as she has it ALL over her hands and I had put it on her chest anyway so she stins, I've tried cleaning her hands but she still stinks, I can't work out if she's eaten it. Should I be worried if she has?

thats a good point, she's happy, and I bet if she tasted it she would think twice about actually eating it

I had this trouble once but i thought my son had eaten Karvol Capsules. I phoned the docs but they had never encountered anyone doing this b4 and all they could offer in way of advice was give him drink of milk and keep an eye on him. Didn't see any effects though luckily. Hes 8 now but has a strange obsession with the smell of them

DD cried after sticking some olbas oil in her mouth, but only coz it tasted totally foul. She had no other effects from it.
