My wife swallowed a vitamin preserver the hard plastic.
Anonymous Patient
Your wife presumably swallowed the dessicant, or dehydrating agent. The active ingredient typically is silica, which as mentioned is non-toxic. Presumably your wife didn't choke on the plastic, and unless sharp it should pass in the stool without complication. For any future poisoning concerns, your best resource is 1 (800) 222-1222 - this is the national number that can connect you with your local Poison Control center.
