Answer 3

If you want a yes or no answer, the answer is yes, it can. Any drug, medicine or substance can kill you should you ingest an amount too large for your body to cope with. You would have to eat a very large amount of benadryl (Or diphenhydramine, which is the active compound it contains) to die from it, and it would be extremely unpleasant and slow. However, you can also suffer damage to your internal organs if you take too much, and that can lead to painful medical conditions and an early death. So be careful with any drug you re taking, even chewable vitamins, and read labels!
