Swallowed a Lizard? Here's What to Know

Imagine you accidentally swallow a tiny lizard while exploring your garden or a park in the UK.

At first, your stomach reacts immediately, working to break it down with digestive

acids, and while it might sound shocking, most lizards are not poisonous.

However, some bacteria on their skin could make you feel a bit sick,

causing nausea or mild stomach upset. Your body is surprisingly good at handling small creatures,

but it’s a reminder that reptiles belong in the wild, not on your plate. Always wash your

hands after touching them, stay calm if something unexpected happens, and remember — knowing

what to do in weird situations can actually save your health. ➡️ Subscribe for more surprising
