What would happen if peppermint or peppermint oil was injected directly into the bloodstream?

Question

I had heard some medical news about how peppermint oil kills certain infectious diseases (one virus in particular) in the lab but administration in the human body was not yet an option. I was wondering what the effects of direct intraveineous application would be?

Answer 1

You would be twice as sweet ;) No seriously, VERY DANGEROUS. You don't know the dosage used, the brand, etc. etc., also it has NEVER been tested on a human. If there were no serious question marks, it wouldn't be an issue. Wait and see what happens.
