Whatt??? You just swallow a piece of gum? Did you know what’s gonna happen? The gum is gonna stick into the intestine and if its large enough it could block the intestine from working or it could grow inside your stomach and make you explode inside out. Okay relax, none of that is gonna happen.
If you happen to swallow a piece of gum, then it would be digested properly like any other food. There is nothing you should be worried about. Even thought it is safe to swallow a piece of gum if you swallow a lot then it would be another story. A lot of gum can block the digestive system from working.
Gum can be dangerous for kids because their teeth isn’t fully developed and thus the chewing isn’t perfect so if it is swallowed it could lead to choking and even death.
