Title: Is swallowing sunscreen toxic?
Post by: JP on 19/03/2009 22:04:57: It's that time of year when the days are getting longer and I therefore start worrying about sunscreen. I'm an avid distance runner, so this time of year I tend to lather myself up in sunscreen whenever I head out for a run. So here's my question: on long runs, especially those where it's warm and I sweat a lot, I end up with sweaty sunscreen dripping into my mouth. This is pretty much inevitable, even though I buy the "sports" sunscreen that claims to be to be sweat-proof. So is sunscreen toxic in the small amounts I end up swallowing?

A bit of ... titanium dioxide won't hurt you.

As long as you're not a lab rat forced to inhale it ...

ah well...nevermind what?

where did you find that poster.......

Kitten does not denote dull and boring it denotes fun and playful...adventerous and very amourous....lol...you have lots to learn too!
