Burning Inside?! Why THIS is a Hidden Household Killer." ​Swallowing a button battery is a life-threatening medical emergency. Unlike food, it doesn't just pass through. ​When a button battery gets stuck in the esophagus, it creates an electrical current that can burn through tissue in as little as 2 hours.

Burning Inside?! Yes. This is why button batteries are a hidden household killer. ⚠️ Why a button battery is SO dangerous: It’s not like a coin that just sits there. When a button battery gets stuck in the esophagus it creates an electrical circuit using your body fluids as the conductor. 1. Electrical burn: The current causes hydroxide ions to form → liquefactive necrosis 2. Chemical burn: Battery leaks alkaline chemicals 3. Time: Tissue damage can start in 15 minutes and burn through the esophagus in as little as 2 hours
