Is Consumption Of Plastic In Small Dosage Harmful?

I was cooking a pizza and realized a strange smell afterwards but ate half the pizza anyways. Turns out there were a pair of scissors in their melting. Could I have caused damaged to my body by consuming some of the pizza? What would be symptoms to look for? It s been a couple days since iTs happened.

Hi,

Two important cause of concerns are exposure to heavy metal and other to any microbe getting along. For the microbes normal gastric habits following the episode show no intervention needed but for metals exposure blood counts for any blood counts abnormalities or hemoglobin reduction should be ruled out. Any neurological signs or weakness or rash should be carefully monitored. Drink more fluids and rest assured otherwise.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
