Does Ingestion Of Plastic Cause Any Adverse Side Effects?
Hi, a twist tie (like one that is used to close bread bags) was accidentally microwaved with my burger. It touched the burger and I didn t realize until I had eaten most of it. The last bite was very obvious that it had been burnt with the plastic/metal and I spit it out. I m wondering if there can be any harmful effects from this one occurrence. Thank you
