I've had my share of candles.

You won't die, so it should be ok.

Red face And here I thought for some strange reason...

... that this was an ingeniously titled birthday thread.

To answer your question craig: Does one have the enzymes to break down wax?

As for wax in particular... I am reminded of a certain parrot with the penchant of waxing itself.

natural wax, as obtained from bees (does not taste like honey), ok, chemical wax, hmmmm, maybe not great in large quantities

It's not toxic or anything, but I've heard people get really sick from eating candles.

Ear wax tastes foul. Beeswax tastes ok.

And I mean more like Ingesting it.

C, I'm guessing more from too much inert rubbish in the stomach or intestines, than toxins?

Yes, it's very fatty and contains a lot of substances that are not readily digestible for humans. I also think it's laxative, but I'm not sure about that, it was just something I read somewhere.

I know it's odd. I'd like some time with earwax and a microscope...

And I doubt I'll be eating any until next year. Also I just remembered a documentary about a mouse eating soap and candles to survive the winter....Hmmm
