If you pour oil into a cup of water will the oil poison the water?

In: Poisons and Toxins [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. The oil should drain off of the water. Water and oil don't mix, so there would be no contamination. If there is something else mixed with the oil, though, it can possibly mix with the water.
