Accidentally ingesting small metal shavings from opening a can is usually not harmful as they are very small and will likely pass through the digestive system without causing any harm. However, it's still advisable to be cautious and try to avoid ingesting them. If you notice any discomfort or unusual symptoms after potentially ingesting metal shavings, it's best to seek medical advice.
