I accidentally smashed a glass on my foot and im scared some might have flown into my mouth when it broke into tiny little pieces. would i know if i accidently ingested some and what should i look out for?

Broken glass: A "smashed" broken glass on your foot would have needed to propel any fragments upwards and exactly into your open mouth approximately five feet. Probability is virtually nil. You would have most likely felt a sharp piece before swallowing the shard. In the extremely remote possibility you have blood in your stool, see a physician.
