While I don't think anything in the oil will outright kill you if you eat
it, I certainly wouldn't recommend it. I'll have to scout through the book
and see what it suggests "Oyl of Tartar" would be used for.

Is this oil edible? Or does it matter, since we are going to wash it out
anyway? Before I start this, want to use the best method. May try both just
for comparison.
