Question:

What is the least amount of IPECAC syrup one can use to make someone vomit?

Lets say you put some IPECAC syrup at the end of water faucet, will that be enough to make someone sick?


Answers:
Sounds like you are up to no good.

Remember this is not only potentially dangerous it is illegal.

There have been a few news stories recently about kids getting arrested for putting things in food and drinks of others, there were some ex-lax brownies, and some Febreeze in a drink, urine in coffee.

All involved were identified and arrested!

Many times such acts are felonies!

Jail or prison is not funny!

No, it won't. And since you're obviously trying to play a prank on someone, you should know that you're messing around with something that could potentially send someone to the hospital, so find something else to do to them.

It is my understanding that the least amount is a quarter of a tablespoon. However the responder before me said the right thing. If you planning on playing a trick on someone FORGET IT!!!!

"Use a specially marked spoon or container to measure the medicine; household spoons are not always accurate. Take ipecac syrup by mouth while standing or seated. Take with plenty of water (8 ounces for adults or 4 ounces for small children). Do not take with milk or food. The water may be given first in the case of small or scared children. Do not lie down for at least an hour after taking ipecac."
