Default Have you ever had a problem with sea foam?

When you've sea foamed your car have you ever had any negative effects like fouled plugs or burnt 02 sensors? Or something else?

i have never seafoamed before, but with a dirty engine its almost a given your plugs will be fouled out

i have heard of people overusing the stuff and burning holed in their pistons, but i have no idea if there is any truth to it or not

Can't say if it fouled my plugs or not, I seafoamed before changing them when I first got the car. The plugs were already shot.

No O2 sensor issues. Still running the originals.
