Hello,

Today at dinner I was eating pizza with a plastic fork and knife. A small part of the tip of one of the prongs of the fork broke off, and I'm pretty sure I inadvertantly ingested it. It's like half the size of a pea, very small. I've heard of the bad things that happen when you eat plastic. Do you think this will be a problem?

Welcome to the boards Brentris.
Really, it's too small to cause you any problems and you'll likely pass it the next time you go to the bathroom. :wave:

No, nothing bad will happen. Like cookiepls said, that's too small a piece to cause problems and it'll make its way through your system without your knowledge in a day or two.
