What would happen to me if I drank fertilizer water?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) May 1st, 2013

I’ve got an orchid in the office and it recommends feeding every two weeks in the summer. I mixed some food in the handiest thing I had, which happened to be a bottled water. Then I got thinking what if I drank that by mistake. It’s colorless. It’s 30–10-10 fertilizer with Cu, B, Fe, Mn, Mo, and Zn. How mean would that be to drink? If you know let me know. If you don’t just have fun with this and make any jokes you want. Like I’d be a blooming idiot, etc. And yes, the bottle is well labeled.

I’d want to consult your MSSL before I gave you a serious answer.

Otherwise I suppose you could offset any potential problems by drinking an equal measure of Roundup™. Don’t do either of those things.

@CWOTUS Excellent answer. I’d be fertile and weed free. That made me laugh.

You would probably get your stomach pumped hopefully before dying…geesh, this Q freaked me out until I read it…lol

@KNOWITALL I wasn’t contemplating it at all. If I accidently drank it.

You’d start sprouting stuff everywhere, out your ears and stuff, and things would get bigger, which you might or might not like.

This reminds me of the time my husband accidentally drank an ENTIRE ½ pint of vodka in about 7 seconds, thinking it was just gator aid. Glad the man can hold his liquor!

@Dutchess_III At least there’s some upside to it.

@Dutchess_III I am doing that now without the fertilizer water particularly out of the ears and nose and stuff. Now if the bigger part would just kick in.

Dutchess_III's avatar

ROFLLL! Yeah. I know that problem!

It might stimulate tap root growth. Unfortunately any growth would be in a downward direction.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ow! Well…wait. You wouldn’t want it growing up because it would wind up in his nose. See.

You may want to consider calling your physician if you have a tap root in your nose for more than 4 hours…

Dutchess_III's avatar

It would prevent unexpected pregnancies, tho. :)

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

You guys leave my tap root alone. I’m kind of attached to it, in more than one way.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Well…but…it’s sticking up your nose, @Adirondackwannabe! I didn’t want to say anything, but there it is…

CWOTUS's avatar

If you weren’t careful, you’d wake up the next morning blight-eyed and bushy-tailed.

LuckyGuy's avatar

Hey, Is that a tap root in your pocket or are you happy to see @Dutchess_III ?

@longgone Oh my god. That was amazing. I’m laughing so fucking hard at that. Thank you for posting that. I wish I could give you 20 GA’s.

longgone's avatar

You’re welcome, @Adirondackwannabe. I found that page on Fluther, actually. Can’t remember who posted it, but I love it as well. As to the 20 GA’s…I’ll be waiting (you promised) ;)

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@longgone Okay, keep posting. Down to 19 now.

longgone's avatar

Um – pretty sure that’s illegal…oh well.

Dutchess_III's avatar

The only way to describe it is “Suave ‘Ocean Breeze’ shampoo mixed with tree sap.” ROFLLL!! That was great @longgone!

Dutchess_III's avatar

I got him to 4 ga…this is like Facebook. Can we get 20 GA’s for the poor guy so his Mom will get him a puppy and be cured of cancer?

longgone's avatar

Thanks, everyone.
But – Is that the best you can do? There’s puppies dying of cancer right this minute, you know?? Just kidding. And @Dutchess_III: Thanks. I’m not a guy, though!

Dutchess_III's avatar

I had a 50/50 chanch @longgone! Sorry!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ok, we got 5 for her! Do I see 6?

longgone's avatar

Oh, it’s fine, don’t worry! ;)

rojo's avatar

I can see the confusion. Long-gone vs Longg-one.

Dutchess_III's avatar

It’s not for you, now @longgone. I’m on a mission! GIVE THAT WOMAN A GA ON THIS ANSWER PEOPLE!!!
