A member asked:
I put vicks vaporub on my nose and accidentally inhaled a little bit of it, now i can taste it in my mouth, is that bad?

Not particularly: Your nasal passages contribute to taste sensation anyway. This vapor is inhaled into the lungs routinely where it enters the blood in small amounts. I would not advise eating it but this minor exposure is not significant.
