Tonight I drank from a cup that I previously used as my paint cup when I was using oil paints. I didn’t realize it until I got the bottom and there was dried paint still stuck to the inside. I am currently freaking out because I’m not sure what to do. Part of me realizes that It probably wasn’t that much ingested but another part of me knows that some oil paints are pigmented with toxic metals that can poison a person if ingested. My roomate doesn’t think it’s a big deal but I still haven’t been able to calm down.

I am sure if there was anything really badly wrong you would have felt the ill effects of it by now. At worst? Upset stomach. Doubt it would get any worse. It would take a lot more than what might have been in the bottom of the cup to do any real damage. Most of what you might you feel will be the work of your own mind. Your anxiety.

if you are worried about heavy metal toxicity (which you get more from processed foods, tap water, your environment, more than your paint.) there are natural protections you can take to ensure you are removing them from your body.. these are called peptides. Glutathione is a major one and take that with vitamin C, not orange juice either or any vitamin C source with sugar because sugars hinder the function of vitamin C. but other than that your paint is not an issue..
