Answer #1

Hi,

Was a teacher nearby?

BTB, or Bromothymol blue, is “extremely hazardous if swallowed”, according to sciencelab.com.

You guys need to TELL A TEACHER or an adult immediately, and contact the local poison center, to see if he needs to go to the hospital or otherwise have a home treatment for this:

National Poison Control hotline (free) 1-800-222-1222
