Firstly you'll probably choke on it, but if it happens to get down the esophagus into the stomach then it will swell and cause great pain. The stomach acids will make a damp to dry sponge expand and the person would have to have surgery to have it removed. If in doubt put a dry to damp sponge in water and watch it absorb the water.

What will happen if a child swallows small magnets?
I think that the child will die because of the chemical that is in the magnet,if it swallows a magnet.Ans. 2Almost all really small magnets are ferrite, or other similar ceramics. These are not water soluble, and therefore won't poison anyone. The only real danger is if the child swallows lots of small magnets; magnets attract each other and could form a clump large enough to cause an internal blockage.

Does the size of a sponge effect how much it absorbs?
Yes. The larger the sponge the more mass it can hold in its pores. So if you have a very small sponge, it could only hold a small amount of liquid. If you have a large sponge, it could hold a lot more liquid. This is ALWAYS the case.
What do you eat or drink if a child of the age 4 puts a magnet in their mouth but does not swallow it?
Don't have a child eat or drink ANYthing until you retrieve that magnet. Once it is out of your child's mouth, just make sure to remove all small items from the child's reach. There are no special foods or fluids the child needs after such an incident.*Choking hazards are very real. Magnets, coins, and other small metallic items are especially dangerous if swallowed, even if the child does not choke on it. SEE a doctor if your child swallows any object.
