<p>[QUOTE="mikem2000, post: 1727508, member: 30574"]I read up on Zinc poisoning, so I am not disagreeing, but something is just not adding up. When I was young, it was common for kids, me included, to swallow a penny now and then. Of course they we copper pennies so no harm, no foul, but did kids change so much they are no longer swallowing pennies? It just seems if they were as toxic as what I am reading, we would be hearing thousands of news reports of kids being sick and dying from ingesting pennies, but we are not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
