You would poop the glass though
- arsome 3y agoYeah, generally speaking unless it's a very large shard and cuts your esophagus, once it reaches your stomach, acids will knock the edges off and it'll pass without issue.
- thombat 3y agoGastric acid is basically hydrochloric acid, and rather less concentrated than the standard laboratory bench HCl, which stands peaceably for years in glass flasks. I would be wary of assuming that chemical attack will quickly blunt glass shards.
- lostlogin 3y agoI really doubt stomach acid would do anything to glass. Strong acids are regularly stored in glass.
- XorNot 3y agoHCl will do nothing to glass. It's strong bases that will dissolve glass (a little), and your digestive system doesn't have any.
- myth_drannon 3y agowell the pieces are about 5mm. For sure it will cut mouth, throat or something else.
- Karawebnetwork 3y agoIn some cases, probably rare ones, it can lead to perforation of the intestine
- TurkishPoptart 3y agoNo, I think eating glass leads to internal bleeding and could be very bad for you.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 3y agoI remember being really scared about it and then I vaguely remember some doctor saying most stuff will go through stomach just fine, and that included glass. Memory is fuzzy and I'm definitely not a doctor, so please double check. I'm assuming if you are eating glass, it's a small enough piece that you won't notice, it can be big, you'll notice in your mouth.
