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..
