Should I Be Worried For Eating Some Plastic?

I melted a bit of my spatula like an idiot on my stainless steel pan this morning while making eggs. It has been 4 hrs. I think I probably ingested some of the plastic from the spatula, but have no real way of knowing at this point. Should I be worried?

Your food needs atleast a day or two to process. Ifpossible small quantities ll get digested by d strong acids of stomach. Laxatives are a good option. Please monitor stools carefully for any sign of.plastic. if you ever have stomach ache or so plse visit a G.P and tell him abt d plastic incident
