Water in mouth

[BedrockIOMC]

How bad is it to get water in mouth? I was doing a wst change earlier and got a mouth full trying to Get hosed to start pulling water.

i drink saltwater on a daily basis, never intentionally. i wouldnt worry just try to keep your intake to a minimum

I think it is nothing to worry about....I am sure we've all had worse things in our mouths! Now if you were biting a Palyzoa off of a rock and got some in your mouth....maybe a different story!

Don’t swallow it. And mouth wash imo. I haven’t had the issue but some have had GI issues from it

Ive accidentally done it more times than I can count and nothing has happened yet. But as with all things there are very rare instances of issues like bacteria infections. Brush them teeth, and use some mouthwash. Probably a non issue

I have drunk soooooo much saltwater over the years. Never had a problem with it, but probably not the best for my blood pressure.

Swallowing SW no biggie; inhaling it not fun. Guess how I know

There are other ways to start a syphon, btw.

Yeah normally do it a different way but the way I was holding everything and having a broke wrist I had to do it that way this time.

Yes, but none are nearly as tasty!

Floss your teeth to get the bristle worms out.

Wat????

lol I’ve eaten algae from my tank before

 

[Scooter90254]

You’re probably a goner. Haha

Don’t put your water under a microscope after drinking some. That would freak you out for sure.

 

[Deiblerj]

Every WC...

 

[joec]

I know one thing, it tastes awful

 

[saltyhog]

If I had a dollar for every time I've done it, I could afford a gem tang in my frag tank like @ca1ore .

 

[Mark Gray]

I try not to drink to much but have had this happen since the 70's good luck don't swallow

No problem! However, once upon a time my dad was fly fishing in Idaho, the RV park manager came around telling the residents to keep an ear out for strange noises outside the RV. Some teens were going around siphoning gas from RVs in the middle of the night. Sure enough; dad heard something outside and went to investigate. He found a guy laying next to the RV puking his guts out! Sherrifs came but my dad declined to press charges! He figured that since the dumb kid had put the hose IN THE SEPTIC TANK instead of the gas tank. Point being, you got off easy!
( sorry but I’m always looking for the opportunity to tell this story)
