I was complete at two schools on the exact same day, 7/23. I got an interview invite from one two days later, and haven't heard from the other since. I was just wondering what everyone's experience has been with the amount of time between submitting their secondaries and receiving an interview invite.
Butyl rubber, commonly used in gum (as well as tires and basketballs, mm!), is a synthetic rubber that provides it with an ideal chewiness. Youâve probably noticed that gum is unaffected by the crushing of your teeth - thatâs kind of the point. So when you swallow the gum, it moves through your digestive tract into your stomach as one giant wad. While your enzymes are able to break down the carbohydrates, oils, and alcohols in the gum as they would with regular food, the rubber base in the gum is basically immune to these enzymes.
If dysphagia is associated with aspiration of food into the lungs, aspiration pneumonia may occur with all of the symptoms of pneumonia (fever, chills, and respiratory distress). If there is aspiration of food (most common with liquids), swallows may induce coughing due to entrance of the liquid into the voice box (larynx) at the top of the trachea or into the lungs. 2  If solid food becomes lodged in the lower throat, it may induce choking and gagging and interfere with breathing.
