What happens if you swallow a piece of ice?

Answer 1

It would probably hurt somewhat, but it would melt in your stomach, then nothing else would happen

Answer 2

Dry ice will turn flesh white in only a few seconds (once contact is removed it will fade as your skins temperature returns to normal), any more contact than that results in burns in varying intensity based on contact time. If you swallow dry ice, it would be bad to say the least, and could be a death sentence depending on the context and quantity. As soon as it has contact with your esophagus, you will receive considerable damage in the form of burns as it goes down. Once it reaches your stomach (if it gets that far- it has a habit of freezing the surrounding environment to the point that it stays in place-place it in water and watch it freeze a ice cap all around it self), it will start releasing amounts of CO2 in your stomach acid, you will in essence have lots of gas (burping continually). If it makes contact with your stomachs lining it could freeze a portion of it. If you were not in trouble before, you are now. This could result in serious ulcers that would need medical attention. I could go on, but it would most likely turn into gas in your stomach doing massive amounts of damage to any lining it touches. This entire process would be painful until the nerves themselves are frozen. Either way , swallowing Dry ice is more of a nightmare than a stupid idea.

Answer 3

Swallowing a small piece of ice is generally harmless and will likely pass through your digestive system without issue. However, swallowing a large piece of ice could potentially cause choking or even minor injuries to your throat or esophagus as it melts. If you experience any discomfort or difficulty swallowing, seek medical attention.
