What dangers threaten with glass splinters in the food?

Broken glass in food can cause different injuries and discomfort. Depending on their size and shape, splinters can cause wounds in the mouth and throat during chewing. Even tooth and gum damage can not be excluded. If a piece of glass gets into the airways, there is a danger of so-called foreign body aspiration, which can be associated with irritable coughing, hoarseness and respiratory problems, including respiratory distress. Furthermore, swallowed fragments can remain in the body and cause inflammation there. As the splinter travels through the digestive tract, it can cause digestive or stomach problems as well as internal injuries. Who has health problems after eating the tomato-olive rolls, should see a doctor immediately. Further information: First aid for dangerous foreign bodies in the body. (Vb)
