Chevy intake manifold

A small nut fell into my intake manifold. It is out of eye sight. What damage can this do if I can't retrieve the nut. Any info would be greatly apprecieated.

Remove the intake manifold is your best approach. If the nut should ever make it to the combustion chamber it will jam or bend an intake valve
