None of the ingredients in this product are toxic. In a way you just ate a different type of food. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients you may have a reaction to that, as you would for any food.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. The risk from swallowing chapstick material is not the issue; it appears you did that on purpose. Why did you eat the chapstick. There may issues that may warrant being addressing in consultation with a therapist. Wish you good health!
