Aluminum foil in PC

[tempstar]

I just started building a new PC, and there are two metal related incidents I am concerned about today:

1) I was eating a chocolate bar wrapped in metallic foil.
2) I tore off some aluminum foil while cooking something.

I then worked on the inside of my PC. What if some bits of foil may landed on my shirt or pants? What if these metal bits fell into my case while working on it and will short something out? I have already started working on my PC, so now I'm a bit concerned.

Does this sound like a reasonable scenario, or am I just being overly worried?

OMG

Just when you thought you heard the dumbest of the dumb.

I think you are overly worried. But what were you doing eating around an under construction computer?

Ok thanks, that's what I suspected but just wanted to be sure. I was actually eating/cooking in the kitchen, which is several rooms away from the room in which I was building the PC.

You needn't worry about atom size or molecule size bits of metal doing anything to your PC.....if it's not big enough to jump contacts, nuthin is gonna happen.

And BTW, drilling holes or cutting openings in the case is not in the "don't worry about it" category.
