If this post is against the rules, please tell me and I will not do something like this again. Thanks I am new to this forum.

I have a supply of lye, and I know its a pretty toxic poison. I was wondering if anyone knew about the specifics of suicide with this method. From what I've heard only a few drops can kill, but it causes severe burns. I hope these burns will not be too painful, I guess I may or may not find out one day, but I was wondering if anyone knew something about this method since I can't find any threads on it with search.

This kind of thread is more than welcome. We discuss methods and reduction of suffering openly.

I don't know much about safe ways to die from lye. I have a weird obsession with seeking out bad news stories and everything I've seen from accidental ingestion was horrific. Burned esophagus, very painful experiences and long journeys. I don't know if there's a more efficient way to use it.

Lye is a caustic akloid. When you survive ... You will be permanently affected for the rest of your life.

Please do not try this.

Ingestion – Burns in the esophagus and stomach, severe stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, blood in the vomit and stool.

It takes less than seven drops in an oral dose, a mere taste, for it to be lethal to a 68 kilogram (150 pound) human being. A single taste of lye would cause third-degree burns on the mouth and the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. If a sufficiently large dose of lye is swallowed, the alkali can cause perforations in the esophagus and stomach, which can lead to death in fatal cases SLOWLY. Think PAIN, PAIN, PAIN, PAIN, PAIN!

Now think STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!

This is one of the worst options. It is unlikely to kill you but guaranteed to leave you severely damaged. Why add this to any current problems?
