I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I think I literally would have to bleach my mouth if this happened to me! this thread has me rolling! Just suck on a Purigen pad... LOL(jk of course)
 
10 bucks for a gravel vac all you do is make sure the air is out of the cylinder and pump it up and down a few times and it starts flowing ;-)
 
Oh this is funny! If you want a 'cure all', whiskey will do the trick. But in all honesty, you'll be fine.
 
How NOT to swallow tank water...

I was trying to think of a simple way to start my siphons without putting the nasty tube in my mouth and I came up with this. Anybody know what an infant syringe bulb is? They are for sucking snot out of baby noses! Gross, I know but I found two of them on the top shelf of the bathroom cabinet in the house we just bought. I didn't toss them for some reason and guess what...they work marvelously for starting a siphon on any size tubing! Mine was free but the cost is only about $2!!!

the infant nose sucker's technical name is "bulb syringe." They are available at any local pharmacy...
 
Well considering that I'm not feverish, vomiting or Defecating uncontrollably . Nor am I bed ridden. I think i'm doing fine. Lol this got out of hand fast
 
Just keep an eye on your fish. If they start dying you're in trouble! You will be fine.
 
I haven't swallowed it but I sure have gotten it in my mouth a bunch pf times. It usually gags me and I throw up a little bit in the bucket I'm siphoning into. Pretty much every time I do a water change. I'm used to it I guess but my hubby freaks out when he sees it happen. He always asks why i put myself through that. I just shrug and suck on the tube to get it going again.
