Q: i accidentally ate quite a big piece of aluminium foil by mistake will this cause any harm?

: If you chewed it well probably no problem. ;-) Dr humor. Time will tell and it should all pass. But I do not know what "quite a big piece" means. I would think 24 inches square would be big. Send size of what you ate?
