Arghhh - dd has eaten a felt pen - should I be worried???!

[BonyM]

Well, not a whole one, but I turned my back for a minute, and the next thing I know she managed to get hold of one of her sister's pens has bright pink ink all around and inside her mouth and the nib seems to have vanished...

I'm assuming that all childrens' pens are non-toxic...please tell me I'm right.

I was going to post something about it bringing a bit of colour to her cheeks, but I won't.

Seriously, I'm sure they are non toxic, but it might be worth giving NHS direct a call to be on the safe side.

Hope she's ok

.

I showed her in the mirror and she burst into tears bless her!

How is she BonyM?

Don't worry, BonyM, she can eat as many felt tip pens as she likes! They may not taste very nice but they're not very poisonous. I have a poisons and overdose textbook which has a list of non-toxic household products
