I may have accidentally swallowed a few 2" brush bristles from a dish cleaning brush within the last couple days. i noticed one in my plate this morning and figured out where it came from just now. possibly other bristles missing, should i worry?

If there were any problems you would know by now. You have passed the bristles by now in your stool, so don't worry.
