If someone swallowed a nail, would that make them sick?

Yes, if someone swallowed a nail it could make them sick. Nails are made of a few materials, including iron, a type of metal which can cause stomach discomfort and vomiting if ingested. The rusting of a nail will increase its reactivity, making any potential irritation to the stomach worse. Additionally, the sharp point of the nail could cause damage to the lining of the digestive tract, which could lead to infection or bleeding. In more serious cases, a nail could obstruct the intestines, making it necessary to get medical help.
