If it is non-toxic, I don't think so. Small children tend to eat all sorts of things and there's probly a ton of healthy adults out there that have eaten much worse than non-toxic chalk. If you're worried, though, contact your local poison control center.

It may or may not be life threatening, but I suggest whoever ate chalk should rest, not eat anything for a bit, go to the bathroom constantly, and call your doctor for help.

It will if you develop a bowel obstruction.

CaCO3 (chalk) +2 HCl (stomach acid) -->CO2 (gas) + CaCl2 + H2O. Nothing to cause fever.[[User:Ysorek|Ysorek]] 22:28, 31 Aug 2007 (UTC)

Proper diagnosis requires a psychiatrist to evaluate the child.
