Can anything bad happen if I filled a bathtub full of olive oil and bathed in it?

Question

Yes, I know it would be expensive, but just wondering.

Answer 1

You'd have the softest skin on earth.'

Answer 2

Put some olive oil in the water but not straight olive oil. That would be very dangerous as far as falling goes not to mention you'd need a whole lot to fill a bathtub. It's a great skin moisturizer but just add some to the water. It'll be cheaper and a bit safer too.

Answer 3

besides slipping it's pretty messy. I mean - when you drain the tub you will give your local sewer a headache. Maybe even you create problems there that drastic that investigators show up at your door.
And - don't smoke in this bath, you could catch fire really easily.

Furthermore - if you stay too long in that oil it may mess with your skin metabolism. The skin needs humidity, water and transpires and such. If it can't do it for a while you may feel funny, then sick and then not do well.

And...if you swallow too much while bathing - you may gain some serious weight ;-)

Hey - the better bathing idea is...fill the tub with water and then generously pour some olive oil in it in addition, like 1-5 cups. That will give soften your skin really nice - without too much of the above trouble possibilities.

Answer 4

Have you ever heard of severely clogged pores? The real bad thing that would happen is yer broke from buying the oil and now can't afford the Dawn dish detergent to de-grease yerself!! :)

Answer 5

You cannot bathe in anykind of oil The purpose of a bath or shower is to get the dirt and oil off your body...

Answer 6

I don't know... but slipping would likely be a problem, and continue until the tub was thoroughly clean.

Answer 7

Are you Italian ? You would be awful greasy , but fine.

Answer 8

Might not be so good for your plumbing...

Answer 9
