A member asked:
I think i swallowed a piece of foil stuck to a chicken nugget.will this cause problems or appendix issues?im sure it was a small piece but im scared!

Not likely: As a physician who removes all kinds of foreign bodies ingested by children, I can tell you that a small piece of foil is likely to pass through your bowels and come out the other side without incident.
