What Happens If You Drink Spoiled Milk?
We’ve all been there: you take a sip of milk and immediately regret it. But what actually happens if you drink spoiled milk?
Drinking a small amount usually won’t cause serious harm, though it might leave you with an upset stomach. However, consuming large amounts can lead to nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. While it might not be life-threatening, it’s definitely unpleasant.
🥛 If you, or your child, accidentally drink spoiled milk and you’re feeling sick or unsure what to do, call the Missouri Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222. The service is fast, free, and confidential, and experts are available 24/7 to help guide your next steps.
