What can u take too poop out a very small key and can u get metal poison from it and can u die its a very small silver key?

Consuming plant-based material like stewed okra can create an encapsulation that helps move any swallowed foreign object out of the intestines. The usual mouth to anus transit in adults is 3=4 days. I wouldn't worry about metal poisoning from the cited exposure. I would not bother to do anything special & just let it pass. If your paranoid it will stay, get your belly x-rayed in a week.

It will pass with your normal bowel movements and you are not at risk of getting poisoning. You may take fiber laxative and drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!
