Swallowing Thread

Magician_Jonny · Apr 27, 2009

Hi guys,
I wana do thread through stomack, where you swallow thread and the pull it out if your stomack.
Now I wanna ask if it's dangerous if I swallow thread, I mean really swallow it.

Thread is extremely easy to hide in your mouth, but if you wanted to swallow it I dont think it will harm you at all. I'm not a doctor, but I cant imagine why eating a thread or two would be dangerous.

why swallow it while u can hide it.it might be risky to swallow it but idk give it a try n tell us all how it turns out

Haha. "Try it, and let us know if you get hospitalised."

Again, I don't think so - but it's probably best to visit a doctor and explain the situation. I should think that it's not something I'd do often though, even if it was cleared. A little may be harmless, but 5 x a little adds up.

I'll just give it a try.
I thin it's like the rumor, don't swallow chewing gums, I think I will do this tomorrow and let you guys know if something happens

Remember, what goes in must come out.

Exactly what I was thinking. You may not have a problem swallowing it, but later on it may hurt like crap (see what I did there?). But hey, you never know until someone is stupid enough to try it.....

Have fun and be careful!

It's completely harmless to swallow thread as i have done many times while preforming Thread by Wayne Houchin. I did consult a doctor first to see if it was alright, and he said it will digest like any other foodish substance. Think about it, the acids inn your stomach will digest the thread as will any other food, just try to make sure it's into a ball which can be easily accomplished before you swallow, because it could get caught in your throat which would be unpleasant like a popcorn kernel!

I think you shouldn't have a problem if you use 100 percent cotton. But I am curious onto which method you are using to pull string from your stomach.

I met a guy who actually threads thread under his skin and uses a razor to cut it out. He uses cotton so I guess it is okay if you swallow it.

Acid that's in the stomach barely digests food.

You can try swallowing it, but I'd rather just hide it rather than actually swallowing it. Like what shades said, if that unravels as it goes down your throat - that would suck!
Good luck though, may the force be with u.

The only thing I'd worry about:

Yeah, I wanna put some fake skin (latex) on my skin, then colour it, load the thread under and pull it out of my stomach

just like david blaine
