A member asked:
Would your body defend itself if you accidentally swallowed just a tiny little bit of benzoyl peroxide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BENZOYL PEROXIDE is a white, odorless powder, moderately toxic. It is most dangerous when it contains less than 1% water. It's a major irritant of the lungs, if inhaled, and mucous membranes. If ingested, contact a poison control line for immediate guidance on management.
