I was taking my jacket off earlier and it has loose string on the sleeves that come off because of snags but anyways I think a piece stuch to my face as i was removing my jacket and I might if inhaled it in howerver I don't think I aspirated it because I have no coughing issues or breathing problems. Now I don't know if it went down or not I was able to eat a hot bowl of malt o meal which is pretty thick and it went down with no gaging problems and I was able to drink a glass of water and even a cup of warm tea with honey. I don't have no throat pains other then a mild sore throat I think that was brought on by clearing my throat and my house is also dry from the central heat. As thick as the malt o meal is do you think it took the string down? im sure it was'nt that big of piece ?
