On a scale of Chernobyl to Cheryl's Pussy…
how toxic is eating a plate of eggs and bacon mixed with the melted tip of a plastic knife?
I'm not great in the kitchen. It wasn't a huge amount of the knife that melted but enough that I said, "Huh, why's that snubbed off? Oh...."
Am I going to die?

Eat some bread so it doesn’t spear anything on the way out.

[quote]Of the six commonly recycled plastics, four can withstand temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) or above. According to Machinist Materials, polyethylene terephthalate -- PET, or recyclable 1 -- has a melting point of 255 degrees Celsius (491 degrees Fahrenheit). High-density and low-density polyethylenes -- HDPE and LDPE, or recyclables 2 and 4 -- melt at 130 degrees Celsius (266 degrees Fahrenheit) and 120 degrees Celsius (248 degrees Fahrenheit), respectively,
Unless your food was on fire while you were eating it, I question how you could have eaten still-liquefied melted plastic.
As for toxicity, you're probably in more danger that the "melted" plastic hardens into a sharpened point and lodges in your digestive tract, than the leaching of chemicals into your system.

Most likely you will poop it out and not even notice.

Why are you using a plastic fork in your own home, OP?

My throat felt kind of sore and swollen and weird after I finished it and I've had noxious gas today.
I mean, we probably eat wads of melted plastic all the time in processed and restaurant or fast food all the time without even knowing it, right?
