Why is it so easy to swallow food but not pills?
In: Biology
It’s not actually difficult to swallow a pill. People just overthink it. A pill is generally a larger and more solid object than you’re used to swallowing so it takes a slightly more conscious effort but it’s still well within a persons ability. It’s sort of like getting a shot. People have traumatic experiences from childhood about having to swallow pills or get shots from the doctor’s and it sticks with them. In reality, the pain from an infection is absolutely minimal. It hurts 100x more to stub your toe. But it’s the anticipation and fear. Same goes with swallowing a pill.
