A member asked:
My friend ate the ink of a sharpie saying her nails would grow longer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
She is mistaken and is risking her health. Sharpie ink has harmful chemicals if ingested. Permanent markers, including popular brands like Sharpie, contain ink that is made from the chemicals xylene, toluene and urethane resin.
