A member asked:
Fragments of synthetic leather have started to fall from my headphones to my keyboard and as i like to bite my nails i am worried i've accidentally transferred some of this material into my mouth and swallowed it? can it cause brain damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The material will pass through your gut in a few days without problems. It is of no more significance than the bugs and dust bunnies you put in your mouth as a toddler unless you know for a fact that material was coated with toxic substances. In that case they would never have made it to market and be sold to you.
