Question

Is minute pieces of diamond dangerous to health if it go into our body?

Answer 1

Hey mate....

As one of the hardest materials on Earth, there's little risk of diamonds decomposing inside your body, but can they hurt you in some other way?

Scant research appears to have been done on the effects of crystalline carbon on internal organs, specifically, but studies have found that most "foreign bodies"— non-food items that people swallow, from coins to rocks to pencils — work their way through the body without a hitch.

"Fortunately, 80% to 90% of ingested foreign bodies will pass without intervention," gastroenterologists at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center wrote in a 2007 paper published in the Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America. "Objects with sharp edges or pointed tips have the highest risk of complications, up to 35%."

In other words, 65 percent of the time, pointy diamonds will not hurt you.
