A woman ended up in serious condition after she swallowed something most of us rarely see as dangerous.
Deborah Zvosec and her husband Stephen were hosting dinner for some friends in late May when Deborah found a wire bristle in her food. It had come from a brush used to clean the grill before the BBQ began. She began feeling an irritation in her throat and realized it was likely from swallowing one of those bristles.
“There it was this tiny little grill bristle and I realized then that must have been what I swallowed before and we looked over at our friends at their dish plates as well when they looked down at their food there was some bristles there as well – just stuck to the food,” said Deborah Zvosec.
Deborah had five hours of surgery to try to remove the wire but it was lodged in too deep. Doctors told her that, like a sliver, her body would “reject” the wire. It took several days before the wire surfaced enough for doctors to remove it.

Deborah has since recovered from the ordeal but be warned about the potential dangers of using one of these brushes around food, especially if children are dining. If you want others to be aware of the risks too, please SHARE with friends and family on Facebook.
