If you swallowed around 15 bbs could they get trapped in your appedix and cause appedicitis. i did but not on purpose. i just want to be safe?

Possibly: But not particularly likely. If you develop abdominal pain, fever, nausea or vomiting or other GI symptoms, then see a doctor asap. Otherwise suspect you will pass these in your stools. I am not sure you want to tell us how this happened.

Problem: Just considering or talking about swallowing potentially harmful objects is not healthy. Swallowing metal bb's would not likely cause appendicitis, and I am aware of someone accidentally swallowing lead buckshot without harm. Please speak to an adult or healthcare provider about any potentially self-harming issues you may have.
