Kimberly Mitchell42, I hate to say it, but this text is just too mindless 😢 maybe it needs to be burned 🙂

Is a major brand's sparkling water toxic?!

While we're all sitting here making guesses, I noticed Mark Wood12 hasn't posted... I wonder if he's feeling under the weather?

It would probably be best to get in touch with someone who can point you toward a lab to have that water tested. You need to find out if the company accidentally overdosed the supply with some kind of chemical.
Where am I supposed to look? Maybe contact the local authorities—they might direct you to a certified lab. I'm sure there’s someone here on this forum who does this kind of analysis professionally.
You definitely haven't been poisoned, given how clearly you're typing 🙂—but if you swallow too much chlorine or some other toxic liquid, the consequences could hit you in the long term. At that point, you could potentially sue the company and walk away with a few million in damages 😁 😉

Genetics questions

I agree—blue-eyed parents can't have a child with brown eyes, whereas brown-eyed parents can certainly have kids with blue, green, or even violet eyes.🙂
Basically, people who carry the specific gene for blue eyes on both chromosomes (15 and 19) can only pass that blue trait down to their offspring. On the other hand, those with brown eyes often carry recessive genes for blue or green, which explains why they can have blue-eyed children.
I think we tend to overcomplicate the whole eye color thing... It’s really just about the lack of melanin (yellow and brown pigments) and how it's distributed across the anterior iris. Green eyes are essentially "blue" eyes, just with enough pigment to change the hue without turning them fully brown.
When someone with blue eyes suddenly develops one eye that turns green or brown, it's a matter of pigmentation. For some unknown reason, the eye starts "filling up" with brown melanin. There isn't a known gene for this specific occurrence, though some believe it might be a form of protection—since eyes with less pigment are generally more sensitive and prone to issues.
