Does Ingestion Of Plastic Cause Serious Side Effects?
My husband put the meat in the oven with plastic saran warp on it . I noticed a little piece on the meat and removed it but I suspect some of it may have melted into the meat and we ate it without thinking. Now I am panicking. How harmful is it? Is there any carcinogenic effect? (I have had breast cancer five years ago). Thanks
