what are the symptoms of akaline battery poisoning?My son in law accidentally swallowed a triple A battery. He was x ray-ed to make sure the battery was on its way to be "discharged" and not lodged in his stomach. He is not having any pain, but he said his bm was rust colored. He is 23n years old and should know better than to put objects in his mouth! However the battery is currently in his digestive tract for day #2(no pun intended!) What danger signs, if any should we be looking for?
