“Some of the kids had complained that they had a burning sensation when they swallowed the ice cream,” the furious mother explained.
Corrosive substances such as bleach or oven and drain cleaners can cause severe burns to the esophagus and stomach, and even perforations that can be potentially fatal, theEuropean Commission’spublic health site states.
The most common symptoms following a corrosive ingestion are difficulty swallowing, feeding refusal, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
The damage they cause depends on the amount ingested, the contact time, the pH of the substance, and whether it is a solid or a liquid.

The Wolfe County Sheriff’s Office says they’re currently investigating the situation.
Deputy Elijah Banks said: “We still have multiple people coming in to give statements, but as of now, it’s still under investigation.”
Banks said he was unable to discuss the incident further, given that juveniles were involved. No charges have been filed as of Tuesday (February 27), WKYT reported.
Still, Patton has expressed her intention to take legal action and has scheduled a meeting with a lawyer to hold the multinationalfast-food chain’smanager accountable for what she says happened to her daughter.
“What they’ve done is not right,” she said.
