Hi All! Happy Thanksgiving. This is just a friendly warning about Orajel 4X medicated gel.
I woke up this morning with a cold sore on my lip, and used some Orajel on it before I read the back of the package (I mean it's Orajel. Nothing bad there right? Wrong)
I read the back and it said it could cause Methemoglobinemia (I probably spelled that wrong), but, they say it's a serious medical condition where the blood doesn't get enough oxygen. TBH, the symptoms sound a lot like Covid.
I washed it off immediately.
And, before anyone says anything. This wasn't listed with the side effects. It was a separate warning.
