Ummm, I have no clue? Why do you ask?
Maybe it would be diluted by the orange juice..
bc i think my friend put some in my sisters orange juice
nope. but i just wanted to know how severe it could be
thanks so much! im hopin not. it was only 3 drops so he says.
You might want to read this.
If it was a whole bottle, or even a dropper-full, then that orange juice would be dangerous. Visine is a poison when ingested.
But if it really was three drops, then (and I have to guess here), then whoever drank the juice is probably safe. The juice should be thrown away, nevertheless, though.
From Wiki:
A common urban legend is that a few drops of Visine in an unsuspecting victim’s drink will cause a harmless bout of diarrhea. This will not produce diarrhea, but oral administration of Visine can induce dangerous side effects related to Visine’s ingredient tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride such as:
Dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia)
Blurred vision
Nausea and vomiting
Difficulty in breathing or even a complete halt in breathing
Elevating (hypertension) then dropping (hypotension) blood pressure
Possible coma
Seizures and tremors
Pfizer recommends that anyone ingesting Visine get medical attention or contact a poison control center immediately.

It’s a myth and a stupid thing to do. A more harmless way to give someone the runs is to add Sorbitol, but that would be a stupid thing to do as well.
Not very at all. All of the above is accurate to me and what I would have said.
Pour out the orange juice. Tell your parents your friend is an ass.
Yeah, with friends like that, who needs enemies?
ok, you need to tell your parents and you need to dump this friend. For gods sake what if he’d made your sister very ill, she could have died. Why the hell would he do that to her? was this supposed to be a joke? There is a very old saying sweetheart, blood is thicker than water, and you should be protecting your sister from things like this. Your friend needs proper help honey before he turns into the kind of sick freak who thinks its clever to dope girls drinks with rohypnol or worse. Look after your sister please honey, because this world is dangerous enough, and thank god she’s ok.
hugs xx
@klutzaroo just read the link you sent, that is pretty scary stuff, and enough idiots out there thinking what a laugh it is to slip this stuff into folks drinks. Terrifying. Thank you for the link <hugs> xx
wow, i heard it can cause the runs but after reading the links in previous post i don’t think i would put it in my eyes anymore
