Could you tell me what happens if you swallow a transistor?

Go to the ER: Any electronic device that is swallowed requires emergent evaluation. This is especially important for batteries (the small disc batteries tend to find their way to children's hands and mouths!). The acid in the stomach reacts with some electronic parts and can be life threatening. Most if not all of these have to be removed so they don't cause damage.
