When we eat food how powerful is the acid in our stomach, is it powerful enough to kill a life? For example, if someone ate goldfish or shrimp alive. How does it work, do the acid kill them immediately or they die slowly.

Not the most in depth explanation, but Tardigrades are a really small organism known to survive almost anything… but they cannot survive our stomach acid. If we eat them, they will be pretty easily disintegrated. 🙂
