We must invest time to listen and develop collective action to invest in their future together.

Single, small magnets will pass through the body without a problem. However, if more than one magnet is ingested (eaten) or a magnet is eaten alongside something metal, there is a risk that part of the intestine can be caught in between the magnetised objects. This can cause serious damage to the intestines including perforation (creating a hole in the bowel wall) which would result in the need for major surgery.
