What happens when you swallow a hair: Understanding hair ingestion

Swallowing hair is usually harmless as the digestive system can naturally pass it. However, repeated ingestion may lead to trichobezoars, causing discomfort and digestive issues. It's important to avoid chewing hair and maintain awareness of potential hair exposure. Consult a doctor if you experience persistent abdominal discomfort or signs of obstruction for timely intervention.
