A member asked:
What to do if someone gets balm ( used for headache) into their eyes..?? is that harmful?? it was a balm named zandu balm..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation: Many headache balms have ingredients similar to menthol, which can burn and sting the eyes. Flushing with saline can help clear the chemical a little faster, and cool compresses can reduce inflammation. Fortunately, this is more painful than dangerous in most cases.
