Fiberglass got onto a plate i ended up eating off will i be okay?

Probably fine.: although there are guidelines for limiting long-term exposure to fiberglass inhalation, there are no guidelines for ingestion by mouth. It is unlikely that a one time ingestion will cause harm. If you are in an environment where fiberglass is present frequently, you may need to take precautions to try to avoid frequent ingestion. Good luck.
