Unless you also swallowed a gallon of potting soil and a glass of Miracle-Gro, don't worry. The acid in your stomach will keep the cherry pit from germinating -- the acid will eat away most of it and you'll pass the rest.

A person who is suffering from dilatation should avoid swallowing plum stones and cherry pits. The stomach of an adult German, was found, at the time of autopsy to contain 920 cherry pits and 17 plum stones, which had been retained for at least 8 or 9 months. Ironically herbal experts cite cherry pits crushed into tea form and used to complement Senna as an excellent laxative. Children also can be found out for their frauds by comparing their inabilities to swallow pills with the great ease of which they swallow cherry pits. There have been medical reports of cherry pits that germinated while in a persons intestinal tract. The cherry pits had sprouted! Just goes to show, when life gives you lemons, watch out for the cherry pits! You should be fine, and this will pass through your system within 24-48 hours. This is, of course, provided you don't feel the pit stuck in your throat or have any discomfort in the chest. The pit of a cherry is small enough that it should pass through without a problem. Of course, if you accidentally swallowed several dozen, you could put yourself at risk for poisoning, though it still very low risk (but possible, as there are very very small amounts of cyanide compounds in these seeds).

If you didn't choke on it, don't worry. You'll poop it out. A cherry seed is small enough that you probably won't even notice it coming out.



No, a cherry will not grow inside your stomach. Seeds need light to grow past the germination stage.

RELAX, cherry pits are not dangerous. They will not grow inside your stomach, and they probably will not obstruct your digestion. As for the ultimate fate of the cherry pit:

Nothing to worry about, children do it all the time. Everything will work out in the end. It has happened with my children and grandchildren. No harm will come to you and you will not be in any pain.

drink lots of water to make it germinate and grow into a cherry tree.



I'll make some pastry and we can have ourselves some pie!

No. It's no big deal. Your body will digest a little of it and send the rest on its way, just like other fruits and vegetables.

Don't listen to them! They're dumb grown-ups. You have to eat a couple of grape seeds to counteract the cherry seed; otherwise, you'll grow into a cherry tree. If your face is starting to get red already then you're too late. Tell your parents to put you in a nice sunny spot in the backyard.



Ask yahoo answers why you're retarded by the way.
