A member asked:

Is pine tar poisonous to ingest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A very small amount accidentally ingested should not be a problem. For ingestion of more then a very tiny amount you should get to a doctor or emergency room asap. No one should ever ingest pine tar intentionally.
