Yeah, the bromine ion has half life in the body of some weeks, and can cause some neurologic problems,but the body eventually expels it away. I would be worried

- pfdietz 7y agoBromine is now on the list of essential elements. It's necessary for proper synthesis of weird S=N bonds in collagen IV. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4144415/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4144415/
- longemen3000 7y agonice to know! well, so it enters in the same category of a lot of elements, good in small quantities, can kill you if you eat it too much.
- isoprophlex 7y agoMind you, there is no ionic bromine in brominated vegetable oil. There are carbon-bromine bonds in there, so it's toxicity is also dependent upon what your body does to those. Bromo alkanes are known alkylating agents. Some alkylating agents are carcinogenic. YMMV... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brominated_vegetable_oil https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brominated_vegetable_oil
