What should i do if i swallowed marti gras beads not the string by the way?

Ignore the issue. We have plenty of experience with kids swallowing anything from bolts/screws/bugs to whatever. These beads are not toxic and will pass through & out of your digestive system in 3-4 days.

You will likely be fine. You should pass the beads with your stool, and you may not even notice that they were there. Good luck and Laissez les bon temps rouler!
