That's the time it takes for someone to digest a Lego – Paternal

The legos are perhaps one of the most fun toys, but for parents, they also pose a number of problems, including the dreaded moment when you discover that your little architect has swallowed a block Lego. It would usually be a moment of panic for any mother or dad, but fortunately a group of pediatricians in the UK just figured out just how long it takes for a Lego to go into a end and out the other.

This foundational foundation stems from a study published last week in the Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health, the six authors having agreed to consume a standard Lego head to promote scientific progress. From there, they each checked their own droppings with chopsticks to locate the ingested head of Lego.

How long did it take for the Lego to appear? According to the study, it took them on average 1.71 days to find Lego in their shit, although one of the authors never found the head of their Lego, suggesting that they could not -be not badyzed their poop with enough care. Even with this missing piece, the authors of the study hope that it will help alleviate the concerns of parents who discover that their child has included a Lego in his balanced breakfast.

"A toy object quickly pbades into uncomplicated adult subjects," they wrote in the study. "This will rebadure parents, and the authors argue in favor of the fact that no parent should rummage through the feces of his child to prove the recovery of an object."
