Phenolphthalein powder can be dissolved in a solvent like ethanol or propylene glycol. Simply add the powder to the solvent and stir until it dissolves completely. Adjust the solvent amount as needed to fully dissolve the powder.

If one parent is O positive and the other is AB negative, the child could inherit the A allele from the O positive parent and the Rh factor from the AB negative parent, resulting in the child being A positive. Each parent passes on one allele for blood type and one allele for Rh factor, so different combinations are possible.

Eating non-food items like laundry starch is a normal human behavior referred to by professionals as "pica." People have been know to eat everything from mud to tire tubes to laundry starch. Think of a stereotypical pregnant woman craving pickles and icecream: it's basically the same thing only they crave non-food items like packing peanuts. Basically, as long as whatever you consume is not toxic, you're perfectly fine chewing, swallowing, spitting, eating etc... Additional Information: This isn't necessarily about what laundry starch will do to your body, but it has do to with the desire, or unexplained cravings for peculiar substances, such as; laundry starch, cornstrach, chalk or even chewing ice. Often this is a signal from your body of an iron or zinc deficiency which you need to see you Dr. about as soon as possble. A link has been found between these cravings, the deficiency, and anemia and colon cancer. If your Dr. finds you to be anemic, please request that they don't just treat the anemia, but find the root cause of it. You need to be honest and open with your Dr. about your cravings, so they can treat you properply. Without full and complete information your Dr. may not know what he is looking for, or what the symptoms indicate.

There are no drug effects from inhaling or eating baby powder. Ingesting talc (the primary ingredient in baby powder) is dangerous, especially inhaling it. It leads to long-term breathing problems and a variety of other health issues.

Here is a list of possible problems from the National Institutes of Health:

* Bladder and kidneys ** Urine output, decreased significantly (or none) * Eyes, ears, nose, and throat ** Cough ** Eye irritation ** Jaundice (yellowed eyes) ** Throat irritation * Gastrointestinal ** Diarrhea ** Vomiting * Heart and blood ** Collapse ** Convulsions ** Low blood pressure * Lungs ** Acute respiratory distress ** Cough ** Difficulty breathing ** Respiratory failure * Nervous system ** Coma ** Drowsiness ** Lack of desire to do anything ** Twitching of arms, hands, legs, or feet ** Twitching of the facial muscles * Skin ** Blisters ** Blue skin, lips, and fingernails ** Rash ** Shedding (sloughing) of skin ** Yellow skin * Whole body ** Fever

Haha!

Well Honestly, I don't know why, but I have caught myself eating paper and cardboard all the time.

I am 14 years old, and I haven't really seen any side affects.

My friends are always asking

"WHY ARE YOU EATING THAT PIECE OF PAPER?!"

And Honestly I couldn't tell them why.

^_^!

My point is....

No.

I don't think it is dangerous to eat paper.

Maybe if you eat a notebook.

There are dyes in paper, but I don't think there is enough to make you sick.

I actually looked at your question because I started eating a piece of paper and thought about it.

I HOPE I HELPED!!

Bye!

I am not sure about if they eat poo but they eat damp paper. This helps there body digest food I think this is what a 10 year old thinks.

Talc is a mineral based powder. It can irritate the lungs if inhaled, and of course can be quite dangerous if inhaled in quantity. There don't seem to be long term health problems documented, as with asbestos. The lungs do seem to be able to eliminate it. So, as long as you can use it externally without inhaling a noticeable amount, it seems to be safe. With a baby, you will want to apply it carefully, so as to avoid allowing the dust to become airborne as much as possible. We would sometimes lay a washcloth or some such over our babies' mouths to act as an air filter.

I'm sure too much of it isn't a good thing but I dont think it will constipate you. It is refined and broken down in the process that it would dilute with your stomach acids. Usually constipation is because of not enough fruits and vegetables. Too much cheese and peanut butter are sometimes the culprits, too. If you eat a balanced diet, a little of everything, then you should not have any problems. Keep track of what you eat for a week and see where the overages or absences are. Go to the library to get a book about balancing meals. Talk to your doctor and bring the food log. P.S. some vitamins can clog you, too.

Baking soda is a really bad pregnancy craving of mine along with that of "crushed" ice or any ice for that matter. I asked my doctor about it and although it is not healthy it is common. For 9 months of my pregnancy with my now 2 year old daughter I ate baking soda and she came out fine. Not I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my son and I've been eating baking soda and the doctor says he's fine as well. My only problem is that I do have high blood pressure if I do not drink enough ice water in between the cravings for baking soda.

Eating baking soda may also be a sign of an Iron Deficiency.

MOST people DON'T have cravings for non-food substances.

There is a name for this craving it is called PICA. Some people have these cravings when they are deficient in some minerals. Having cravings for chalk can mean you are low in calcium. If you have cravings for non-food substances you should contact your docter. Be sure not to ingest things that can be harmfull for example paint with lead in it.

Some people have these cravings when they are pregnant also, and this is actually fairly common.

Green bananas are safe to eat. They contain resistant starch which is helpful for people controlling their blood sugar, because resistant starch has less effect on blood glucose levels. The way to eat them is to cook them. Slice them or cut them like fries and fry them in butter until browned.

Green Bananas are very good for health, even better than the yellow ones, some studies say.The incidence of Irritable bowel diseases/cancers is lower in places where people consume more green bananas than yellow.

Eating cornmeal out of the bag can be harmful definitely by raising the BP and causing constipation and retaining fluid when eating more tea spoons than recommended.... I know because I'm a regular eater.

Yes, corn starch can go bad. If not kept in a sealed container, it can pick up off flavors and odors from its surroundings. It will also pick up moisture and will not thicken products the way one would expect.

Go to bed and stay there or if it does not help get vaccinated.

Judging from the fact that its on a roll next to fecal matter contained E. Coli there is a chance that you could. On the other hand if it is sterile then it's not likely to make you sick since it is made to dissolve, and your stomach has acid. As long as you didn't eat too much.

Yes....

Of course...

All medicines are harmful for the body.

It's just ground up wheat. It doesn't represent any special risk.

look at the expiry date on the pack
