Can Swallowing Banana With Peel And Plastic Bag Cause Any Problem?

I ingested a banana that was near turpentine (the banana was in its peel and securely in a plastic bag, but there was a small turp leak at the bottom of the bag). I don t think they came into contact, but I feel slightly off, hopefully just due to paranoia. I drank a lot of water and ate some bread after. Should I be concerned? I m afraid to seek help, especially if it s not an issue.;

Hello,

Swallowing a banana with peel may not cause any problem. If you feel any gastric irritation with consumption of turpentine you may use tablet pantaprazole before breakfast for one week.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
