Last night(about 12 hrs ago) I was pouring some weed killer on my front drive.

However I think 1 or 2 drops might have splashed into my mouth somehow. Cant be sure but I reckon it might.

I dont feel sick or have any diahrea, but my chest does feel a bit tight/congested. Almost kinda wheezy.

Now that could be my anxiousness in overdrive and the heat at the moment.

But if you do happen to accidently get a couple drops/splashes of weed killer into your mouth, should I worry??

The product I used was Bayer Garden Advanced Path Weedkiller. It contains: glyphosate sodium, flutenacet, metosulam.

Any advice wouldbe much appreciated.

Hi, did you taste anything bitter? You would know if you had that in your mouth.

I can promise you would have been able to taste it if you got it in your mouth. You'll be ok :)
Maybe next time you could buy one of those mouth guards that protect builders from inhaling brick dust. Just so you dont have to worry in the future :)

I think you would have been feeling really ill just a short time later if you'd swallowed any. The fact that you have slept and woken and feel ok since means its very unlikely you did. You would have been doubled up in agony with your stomach with this stuff. I think you're right about the chest discomfort too...this sounds like anxiety about the weedkiller. Try to relax and take some deep breaths if you can.
