If you swallowed sunflowers seeds and ate the shell...?!


Question:

If you swallowed sunflowers seeds and ate the shell...?

would you know if it was stuck in your Throat?

if so (or not) could it be any harm to you, will it eventually go down?


Answers:
Since the seeds are small more than likely the seed scraped your throat causing the sensation of being stuck. It might take a couple of days before before that feeling goes away.
More than likely you will see it exiting out your body in a couple of days causing no harm unless you have a colon or large intestinal problems then that is a whole new set of problems to deal with. ;) Don't sweat the small stuff.

it will be fine

This happened to me once a long time ago.You will feel it it will seem as if it is stuck into the roof of your mouth adnd it is so annoying!But,I was fine after a few weeks,about 2 or 3.

if the shell scratches your throat on the way down it'll feel like its stuck in there.

actualy,,,, the shell has a ton of good nutrients and vitamins.

its all good =)

You would know if the shell got stuck in your throat. If it did, yes, you could choke - though most likely it would just feel stuck and irritating for a bit until it eventually worked its way down. After that, no problem (unless you have diverticulitis or some other GI malady).
