The internet is so great, it has everything, no matter how weird, like, for instance, just to totally make something up, if someone absent-mindedly swallowed the paper tag from a teabag, I bet there's a page about whether they should worry about that, ha ha, can you imagine, anyway has anyone seen that page

@Popehat @goondocks back in my callow youth (I’d just turned 21) I lived in a studio apartment above this bar. I often shot pool there and one night some bozo dropped a quarter into my beer. I was concentrating on the table and didn’t notice the quarter until I gulped down the last of my beer.

I spent the next couple weeks in terror of its inevitable exit.

luckily it was counterfeit. it didn’t pass.

You're gonna die.

Probably not today, and not from the teabag paper.

But you _are_ going to die.

If the paper part of your teabag falls into your cup, is the tea no longer safe to drink since the paper has been exposed to the outside ...

Answer (1 of 4): The paper tag is made of food safe paper and it is printed with food safe ink. There is no need to worry about being poisoned from that. If you are going to worry about the tag being exposed to unsanitary air, you are over thinking the situation. Unless you know that the tag was...

Show threadJonathan HorowitzDec 30, 2022
@Popehat My understanding is this: Swallowing most (non-toxic) things like paper is safe because if it's small enough to swallow it's small enough for your body to eject. It will hurt but it will be fine.
The one exception is that if it is possibly magnetic you need to go to the ER immediately. Magnetic objects can twist your insides in a bad way and seriously damage your innards. A metal object is potentially okay but if you've got something in your insides that is already magnetic, look out.
