Tag: Eat wax

While most people do not intentionally consume wax, nearly all commercial candles contain paraffin wax, a non-digestible petroleum byproduct. This raises a common question: **What happens if I eat a piece of wax?** For the most part, a small, accidental amount of non-toxic wax will simply pass through the digestive system with no harm done, but larger quantities or toxic additives can pose a serious risk.
