http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/05/health/grilling-injury-wire-bristle-brush/index.htmlLast winter, a team of doctors at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware treated a 16-year-old girl who had a sharp pain in one spot of her abdomen. Although the doctors suspected she had swallowed something, they were surprised when they pulled out a wire bristle from a grill brush during surgery.
It started to make sense when the doctors thought...
Story highlights:
- About 130 people a year in the United States go to the ER because they swallowed a wire bristle from a grill brush
- Although grill brush injuries are uncommon, they might require surgery and cause infections
- Experts recommend using nylon brushes or wire mesh brushes instead of brushes with wire bristles
