Do you need emergency medical attention if you accidentally swallow paint on a water glass? two

The mouth of the cup is the most likely place for people to bump when using a water cup, which will inevitably cause the paint to fall off. If there are small pieces or very small particles that are accidentally drunk when drinking water, because the paint on the surface of the water cup has been baked at high temperatures, the hardness will be reduced. It is relatively high and difficult to decompose. Eating a small amount by mistake usually does not cause harm to the body and is usually excreted naturally through metabolism. However, allergic reactions are not ruled out. If this occurs, please seek medical attention immediately.

The materials commonly used for internal spraying of water cups are Teflon and ceramic paint. Teflon is commonly used in non-stick pots in daily life. Ceramic paint is another internal spray coating that has become widely used in recent years. First, let’s talk about Teflon. When Teflon is combined with a water cup or pot, it needs to be baked at a high temperature of several hundred degrees Celsius to completely harden the coating.

When we use non-stick pans every day, the non-stick coating will peel off over time. It will inevitably get into the dishes we make, and the possibility of being accidentally eaten is high. However, it is rare to hear that the non-stick coating is accidentally eaten. If you eat Teflon, you should seek medical attention immediately, so don’t be nervous if you accidentally eat small particles or a very small amount. You can speed up natural excretion by drinking more water or exercising.

Of course, if you swallow large pieces by mistake, you still need to seek medical treatment. A few years ago, due to the immature processing technology of ceramic paint, there were many cases of large-scale peeling off of ceramic paint sold on the market. Some consumers also found foreign objects in the cup when drinking water. During the same period, we received more complaints about this phenomenon. It is also the most common. For this reason, some water bottle manufacturers have also been severely punished by market supervision departments.

Afterwards, with everyone’s joint efforts in research and development, the process of internally sprayed ceramics became more and more perfect and mature, and the problem of large-scale shedding rarely occurred in the market sales in recent years. The ceramic paint sprayed on the inside of the water cup is all food grade. However, considering that the baking temperature of ceramic paint is much lower than the processing temperature of Teflon, it cannot ensure that the ceramic paint is completely hardened. If you accidentally eat ceramic paint while drinking water, It is recommended to seek medical diagnosis and treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions.
