I was charging my phone battery today with one of those universal charger things. The spring snapped while I was trying to fit the flat battery into the charger, so it crunched, and one of the corners of the battery snapped off. It was a little black plastic shard about 1cm long. I looked everywhere on the floor and on my clothes for it, but couldn't find it. Now I'm paranoid that I might have accidentally swallowed it or something. It was attached with a tiny screw, and I can't find that either.
I know that sounds far fetched but I did kind of get a fright and scream when it snapped so my mouth was technically open? Lol I know it sounds crazy but I'm really scared I accidentally ingested part of the battery. I'm scared it could harm my insides, from any chemicals or the sharpness of the shard of plastic etc. Is this likely or is it just the anxiety playing tricks with my brain? I have a fear of ingesting foreign bodies already, so this is why I'm anxious. I just hope there wasn't any chemicals on that shard of plastic. Luckily it wasn't the whole battery. Just a small piece, the plastic corner. Still scared tho.
