A member asked:

Drank a bottle of tea and felt something in my mouth.spit it out and it was a small shard of glass. saw glass on the cap to.not sure if i ingested any?

You should be okay.: Lots of sharp objects pass through the GI tract without causing problems. Glass is inert, so it should not react with digestive enzymes, so you are safe there too. If you develop any symptoms though you should see a doctor of course.
