I believe that they are fairly harmless, as it is widely used in
products intended for use with food. The residual monomers and
short-chain polymers are definitely so, as they are merely
hydrocarbons (polythese - poly-ethane). Bacteria eat them for
breakfast.

Unless there are lots of them - in which case some are left for lunch.
