Default can you overdose on epsom lotion? about an hour ago,
i was in horrible burning below the knee pain & in desperation, i went a little crazy with morton's, slathering it all over my calves & shins. now i feel kind of icky...i have a slight cough & am wheezing.

i don't want to get into a full blown anxiety attack but i am getting very hyper thinking i am going to fly off to the nearest e.r.

any info about magnesium overdose?

antonina,
how are you feeling now?

There are some older posts regarding having too much epsom salts in the bath, but I haven't found any yet regarding epsom lotion.

Have you tried to gently rinse/wash it off, as much a possible just in case?

Default thanks Lara & Jo Mar
i called poison control a few minutes ago & the doc said you cannot absorb enough mag transdermally to cause an overdose. needless to say i am very relieved!

i'm so glad to stay home & not have to race (hobble?) to the hospital.

thanks again for your fast responses.

It's good you phoned them. That would make you feel less stressed about it at least.

Did it help the pain, that's the next question.
