What Complications Can Arise From Eating Rusted Blade?
Question: Hi my wife observed a rusted blade inside the soft drink bottle, she consumed 1/4th of it. what kind of medical test/ precaution she should take to avoid any infection.
Brief Answer:
No need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. But it leads to contamination of colddrink woth some blood. The Body would digest it and break it down as a food. So diseases like HIV or Hepatitis can not be transmitted by this route (unless she has any sores, cuts or wounds in the mouth).
They can be transmitted by blood to blood contact. Other disease can be transmitted by this contamination are food born diseases like typhoid, dysentery etc. No any test or preventive medicines are required for that. So no need to worry. just be relaxed.
If you have any symptoms then consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Even if you have sores in your mouth possibilities of HIV like disease is negligible. Because HIV virus can not survive out side the body environment for long time. So virus died within few minutes. Theoretically possibilities are there but in practical life its not possible to get HIV by this route. So don't worry. Just be relaxed.
