What Happens if You Swallow Lego?
In the News
NB: Don't try this at home
Todays question is: What happens when you swallow a Lego head? Does it remain in your digestive system or does the body expel it? A group of doctors from Australia recently took part in an unusual experiment, in which they each swallowed a Lego head to settle the query. As you do lol.
The bizarre experiment, which the team branded a 'dedication to paediatrics', was recently published in a scientific journal. The good news ,is that the study confirmed that the small toy should find it's way out within one to three days.
The study which was titled 'Everything is awesome: Don't forget the Lego', was discussed on Twitter by the consultants involved. 
telmel I've swallowed chewing gum but never Lego T. I live to tell the tale lol.
MelissaLee1 I read recently that a lot of A & E patients , namely children , turn up with lego pieces stuck up their noses
But i should imagine swallowing a piece of lego could be just as painful when it is eventually jettisoned
telmel I'd save the bits .Can't help but notice how expensive Lego is these days. Can get cheaper flights!
jdible In prison they smuggle mobiles in reverse mode.Fancy an old brick phone lol.
They are certainly dedicated to science. I'm sure their research will be helpful for parents with toddlers that like to taste everything!
MelissaLee1 I was just thinking how long his finger is M, and how far it has already travelled ?
