Is Ingestion Of Melted Plastic Injurious To Health?
Hi I heated my lunch in a microwave safe container in a microwave. But after I had my food I saw the bottom of the container had melted. I must have ingested the material I am guessing. Could you please let me know what are the hazards of such ingestion?

Hi thanks for asking question.
You have ingested small amount of plastic.
I think according to history given you have no symptoms just now.
If plastic ingested then it can lead to obstructive symptom of GI tract ,vomiting and constipation.
If you have no symptom nothing is to be done right now.
Take care that it doesn't happen again.
Don't worry
