Question 1

I accidentally ate a packet of biscuits and later noticed there was a hole in the packet. I didn't eat the last biscuit since it looked like it was carved from one side. It happened on an empty stomach along with tea, and it's been 12 hours now. I don't feel any noticeable symptoms, but I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about this?
