Can you get sick from eating toilet paper?

Toilet paper is not meant to be eaten and can cause health problems if ingested. Swallowing toilet paper can lead to choking and internal blockages. It can also introduce harmful bacteria and other contaminants into the body, which can cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea and vomiting. In some cases, intestinal perforation or ulceration may also occur.

It's important to keep children and pets away from toilet paper as they may be more likely to ingest it accidentally. If you or someone you know has swallowed toilet paper, seek medical advice or treatment as soon as possible.
