Can Ingesting Plastic Or Its Fumes Cause Health Problems?
I left a cutting board on the oven while baking something. it started melting and leaked through the burner plate. I m worried I may have ate some plastic from the cutting board that melted. I m not sure if I did, but if I did will I be ok? could the fumes from the plastic get in the food and cause problems? I really have paranoias about household chemicals and can t believe this happened as I m usually so careful!
