You die a slow and painful death
ngestion of copper sulfate is often not toxic because vomiting is automatically triggered by irritating effect on the GI tract.
It depends on how much is ingested. Small amounts (milligram quantities) will do no harm, and may even be beneficial, since copper is a nutrient in small quantities and the sulfate ion is used in medicines. Copper sulfate in medium quantities can cause minor irritation. Think of swallowing pond water treated with CuSO4 as an algaecide. Large quantities can become harmful, due to toxicity from excess copper. If the small amount is actually small, then it will be no problem. Read the ingredients of multivitamins with minerals and you will see some copper salts listed.
