I once pulled a 3 ft string it out my cat’s throat because he was helplessly swallowing the whole thing. It was gross and uncomfortable at least, of not painful for him, but I think we Dodge a bullet that day. That was under supervision. The thing with strings is they feel the necessity to swallow them when they reach their throats. Yeah they go crazy with it.
Oh. Earth will be fine, then? Now we can breathe easy.
