and in the processs, it lingered over my glass of water for like a second and dripped into it !
and then i didnt rememember so i drank the water !
AND IT TASTED LIKE NAIL POLISH REMOVER.

I wouldn't get carried away by calling 911.  Just wait it out I am sure your fine.  The most that would happen is you will throwup.  I wouldn't worry.

If you only knew what you ate or drank each day when in a restaurant or somewhere.  You would prob. never eat or drink again

trust me.... you gotta think if you had swallowed it your throat would be burning i mean really burning, you would deffo be throwing up, gasping for breath and pls dont tell me you have these symptoms cause if you think long and hard enough you will end up with them thats how powerful the mind is.
put it this way you wouldn be sat typing you would have collapsed so STOP WORRYING the amount of times my water has tasted like window cleaner cause its been around while i was doing the windows is untrue but im still here
relax hun

Seriously, nothing is going to happen to you. I have done this before, with nailpolish and much worse! It will do nothing to you. I have health anxiety too, i freak out just like you everyday! Try not to worry, keep in touch xx

If you drank the whole bottle, then yes, you'd be very, very sick! But it was only a drop. It's not even enough to get into your system. I do my nails all the time and I'll forget to wash my hands and stick my fingers in my mouth. Nothing bad has happened to me.
