    We do not email answers. No reason to throw these down the toilet. Yes, it can plug the toilet but more likely somewhere in the drain. Throw them in the trash or compost.

    Of course it can. Why would someone do that? Kind of dumb.

    Limes are a poor way to freshen a drain, and a good way to clog the loop in the toilet itself, and too expensive anyway. Use bleach or lemon scented bleach, just a tiny amount at a time goes a long way.

    There are two things that should go into a toilet.. human waste and water. That's it. If you put anything else in there, it's all on you to fix it.
