A member asked:
Is it dangerous to tape your mouth shut with a micropore tape at night? if so, any tips to make it less dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do this?: I would not do this as if you get sick thru the night and have to throw up , you might aspirate. I have no idea why one would do this and frankly I would recommend against it.
