Found a piece of melted plastic from a spatula in my food. induced vomiting and am freaking out whether i ate some small pieces and how toxic it is!

Quit worrying: Small pieces of plastic from spatula are not toxic. It is food grade plastic, you can't digest it. You didn't consume enough to hurt you in anyway.
