Is It Dangerous To Ingest Plastic?
Hello
Yes i just blended a milk shake with ice.
however i did not notice the small plastic top from the blender had dropped in and got blended.
It was not until i got a few pieces in my mouth i realized.
It was pretty well blended and most settled on the bottom before i got to most of it.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The amount that was blended was a small quantity and you did not ingest it but noticed it while it was in your mouth.
In addition the particles would only been in the bottom of the glass for a short period of time (you do not persistently have plastic particles in your drinks).
This means that you are not likely to experience any side effects related to this.
I hope this helps
