What Are The Side Effects Of Consumption Of Melted Plastic ?

Hi is it dangerous if melted plastic (say from a bag that had meat in it) is eaten? I tipped the meat into the frypan which was very hot with oil but I dropped the bag. The bag became stuck to the bottom of the frypan. I picked through the meat to check for plastic but I was worried about what would happen if there were any melted bits that I missed.

hello..
one time consumption may not lead to any considerable problems..
at the most you will have some pain abdomen indigestion etc
do not worry..
if this repeats for a long period, studies show that they cause a variety of cancers..
i mean to say nothing to worry if you don't have any symptoms..
