I was just painting with acrylics, and i didn't notice I had some on my hand and I wiped my mouth. It wasn't alot, it was very little but ever since I had this wierd sour taste in my mouth and I have been drinking a lot of water. I tried eating a chocolate chip cookie to get rid of the taste but it won't go away...

I know that acrylics aren't that toxic but I was just wondering if i should jsut drink more water...
No it sais no health labelling required...I know i ingested a bit of cadmium red...I suppose I'll just drink lots of water
 
Look at the tubes of paint that you think the paint on your hand came from. Do any of them have toxicity warnings? If, not, brush your teeth, floss, gargle and rinse with mouthwash, and stop worrying. Flake white oil paint contains lead, and some cadmiums are toxic, but wiping your lips with paint is not likely to cause you ingest enough to create any problems.
