What would happen if you accidentally swallow a string of mardi gras beads?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would be concerned: That if the beads became tangled in the GI tract that it could cause an obstruction. How drunk does one have to be to accidentally swallow a string of mardi gras beads? If one just swallowed some beads, i woudl say let them pass. However, if it is a string - i would encourage medical evaluation.
