Food coloring wont make you sick

Dye sold for Easter Eggs has to be generic and safe for ingestion (eating or drinking) in the USA. So the sickness you feel is probably just your anxiety that your parents will find out and get mad. Just relax and forget about it. There was nothing there that can harm you. Put a coke on ice and sip small sips slowly. The carbonated water will help you and your stomach relax. If you don't have coke use Pepsi - ginger ale - or whatever you have that is carbonated. It is like taking an alka seltzer to calm your stomach.

Oh you poor thing, you got a bad case of colored tongue. That's it! All that little tablet is, is just food coloring. The reason your probably feeling weird is because of the vinegar. So give your tummy a break and stop spitting, just relax. You have never heard of anyone dying from dyeing eggs before and hopefully never will. My son has drank the water before just to get a green tongue. He is fine, wild, but fine LOL.

Quick! Stop being dramatic! The dye is food grade. Meaning it won't hurt you. Otherwise they wouldn't allow you to use it on FOOD THAT IS GOING TO BE EATEN!
No, you don't eat the shells, honey, but the dye still permeates the shells. You are fine, but dramatic.
P.S. How do you get dropped water to go into your mouth? Gravity works downward for most of us! NOW GO WASH OUT THE SINK!

Easter egg dye will not hurt you. It is vegetable based. The stomach problems are probably from anxiety. If your parents will really yell at you over spilling easter egg dye, maybe you should contact a counselor in you community.

I don't think that food coloring will do something like that to you. You should probably go to a doctor to see what all that slime's about.
And if your parents would hit you, then you should probably let someone know about that too. :(

check the box or package you got the tablet from and see if it has directions in case swallowed also if its just a food coloring thing then you will be fine and you might be feeling sick because you are worried that your going to be sick or get in trouble but normally coloring products for food and stuff aren't toxic i work with ink that you print from your printers and stuff and my bosses son swallowed that and all it did to him was turn his poo blue and his mouth you should be fine :)

Sweetie? Do you still have the box the dye came in? Read the label and see.

You'll be fine. Your tounge or teeth may turn color for a few minutes, that's all.
