Its fine if you get a little bit in your mouth. Your not going to get sick or die. Unless you drink a gallon of saltwater i wouldnt worry about it.

i used to have a buddy that died from it,apparantly he had some used sand in the tank that came from a tank with dead anenomes in it.....he felt fine for about 10 days then he just didnt wake up.autopsy revealed the poisoning as it had destroyed most of his internal organs feom the inside out.i hope that by now you have seen a doctor and are not relying from the inexperienced people on this board that dont care if you live or die. they will tell you there is no harm in it just so they can read about you dying in your sleep when one of your loved ones posts.
see ya in the next life brotha

Ok, dramatic. I get saltwater in my mouth all the time...unless you have had a multitude of poisonous creatures decaying in your tank for some time, you will definitely be ok. And this is coming from someone who cares if you live or die. Geez xtech...although your post was humorous...let's not freak people out.

Ok, YOU SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR! With that said, I wouldn't see a doctor if I drank aquarium water.
That is all...

Yeah he will be fine but I figured I should put this as a disclaimer... It is like when you see anything about diet or exersize on TV, they tell you to talk to your doctor before doing anything. That way we keep the lawyers sueing the doctors and not the rest of the world...

Thats kinda harsh. If we didnt care we wouldnt have answered the post. And it is still ok if you got a little water in your mouth. Your friend was an extreme case. Relax and stop trying to scare the guy.
