Is it dangerous to eat foam

Question

My little brother just swallowed a chunk of foam, the kind you get in boxes to protect fragile items. Should I be worried.

Answer 1

He should be taken to the doctor, as synthetics can irritate the stomach, and cause ulceration.

Answer 2

you should say how old your brother is and how big the chunk was. If he is breathing ok, and it wasn't a massive chunk, I can't see any problems.

Answer 3

he should be ok coz its not sharp- proberly be in his poo by the morning!

Answer 4

as long as he can breath it should pass through his system.  u will have to watch his stool to makes sure his body expells the foam.  yes thats right..... u have to check his p**p b 4 flushing.

Answer 5

um probably not, but i wouldn't try it again.

Answer 6

No my baby girl has ate everything known to man (I think) Including a bit of styrofoam off a cup *sigh*

He should be 'ok' as long as he didn't eat a whole lot.  

Answer 7

Please tell your parents as soon as possible b/c telling us is not that important.  Go ahead b4 it's too late!!
