Question: What would happen if you ate me!?
I saw this movie where some guy was sent inside another man!. First he was shrinked!. Could I really stay alive if I was tiny and you swallowed me whole!? :O What would happen!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You might stay alive inside, when shrunken, BUT, like the astronauts, you would have to be equipped with a fully adequate miniaturized protective space suit and separate and adequate oxygen supply for the journey to the end exit!. The strong stomach acid would be a threat!. Your own oxygen supply would be needed!. The one-to-two day journey through the intestines could likely be endured though it might be uncomfortable without water and your body waste disposal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it was on film, The Fantastic Voyage!. Is your question what would happen to YOU if I swallowed you (sorry, you will be digested unless I throw you out through indigestion!!) or what will happen to ME (at worst, a mild case of indigestion, I guess)!. Now to the tech bits!. Our bodies are not designed to shrink like a balloon!. The lungs will lose its balloon like elasticity (surfactants etc!. will not perform in that small scale), synaptic transmission in brain will go nuts as signaling molecules will literally bathe it, blood clots may form due to sharp bends in vessels, and so on!.

Yes, we are all small when born, and yes, there are many small made people out there!. But the thing is, we are not talking about degree change here!. We are on about MAGNITUDE difference - that is you will not be 1meter smaller than me, but 1000 times smaller than me! That is why your physiology (never mind other complex things) will never be able to cope with the change!.

Ignoring this, suppose we did shrink someone that small and put him into blood stream of another!. What would happen is large macrophages (tough immune cells who eat enemies) will eat you up!. Escaping that, you will be attacked by antibodies (not the ones tailor made for you, but those that maybe already present for some reason), compliments etc and watch out for those terrible traps and big eaters in spleen and lympnodes!. Either way, I guess it is a bad idea!. So don't try it!. lolWww@Answer-Health@Com
