                                Over 2 billion people worldwide consume tea daily, but few ever consider what might happen if they ingest the actual leaves. If you accidentally eat tea leaves, a small amount is unlikely to cause serious harm, but the effects can range from negligible to mildly unpleasant depending on the quantity and type of tea.
