Will metal digest out of the body?!
Question:
Will metal digest out of the body?
i think i ate a small piece of metal from a blenders blade. I noticed it last night. It must have broken off when I put ice in the blender. It's a very small piece missing.
Does anyone know if it will pass through? Do I have to use ice crush for the ice all the time?

Do you think it may get stuck in my body? It's literally a 1/20th of an inch or smaller
Answers:
It will not digest. Ingested things gets digested by your saliva, gastric juices, absorption in your intestines - to name a few but all these combined cannot digest metal so the metal that you ate should go out when you defecate. Hopefully it will not nick or injure your intestines/stomach.
