She also didn't even know that it could be poisonous when ingested in larger quantities. She just thought it was gross and bitter.

Also as Claudia said something that might be safe for an adult might not be safe for a child or in Monica's case someone who is malnourished.

I don't see how you could know one without the other. If it's that poisonous, how would she know it was bitter? It's not like she accidentally had a taste. She must have heard it from someone else, and I think that person would have mentioned the poisonous traits before the fact that it's bitter.

Because it's not that poisonous. Monica only started feeling off after drinking the whole cup. When she tried it, she didn't drink more than a sip before stopping because it was gross so it wasn't enough to affect her.

With 1 drop in the cup. Thats all that they put in of the beauty drops and she was convinced she was going to die.

Do we know how much she put in? I assumed they poured in a bunch, not just 1 drop.

Typically the person suggesting the "prank" mentions the bitterness but not the danger so that the prankster unknowingly does their dirty work. Then when they go looking for the mastermind they are nowhere to be found.

That said, I have personally had eye drops get in my mouth and can totally believe it was learned via firsthand experience. My tongue was numb for a while but I was fine otherwise.

The eye stuff now for eye doctors often in botulism toxin. But from comments here it was a Nightshade both are deadly. A few drops to get eye to dilate.

And Monica was forced to throw up so she probably got many drops worth of a dose.

Or she just assumed that something your supposed to put on your eyes would taste funny, and knew nothing of the specific flavor.

Also, medicine is pretty famous for never being designed with taste in mind and the difference between a medicine and a poison is often just dosage and intent.
