   I bought some CR2032 batteries and noticed that they now have a pattern of coloured dots on one side. Google revealed that the dots are ink, dissolve in saliva, and provide a visual warning that someone has swallowed a battery. So I licked one. My tongue was blue for two days.

     @fesshole battery blisters now have batteries fully contained in plastic (it used to be one side plastic and other cardboard. I heard some are treated with bitrex (bitter tasting deterent).

     Reason why ingested batteries are so dangerous is because they trigger electrolysis in digestion tract forming toxic substances that can poison the person or damage tissue which is very serious within intestines as it can cause sepsis.
