Weird injuries from food

[expatinspain]

Last night I stabbed the roof of my mouth with a Dorito. It was bleeding for a good while and is still bloody sore this morning when I eat anything! Has anyone ever done that before? It's my first time being injured by a crisp 😂

What weird food injuries have you had?

Oh I once choked on an ice cube at my nans house. I was panicking and couldn’t breathe and my grandad just sat watching and told my nan not to fuss that it would melt in a minute. It did and I was fine but it was super scary and I never really had the same bond with my grandad after that

You were lucky, ice cubes can take ages to melt!

No drastic stories myself, usual sharp bread, etc but @LubaLuca I just has to say your story had me crying with laughter!! 😂😂

My sister once went to the dentist and he removed a tomato seed from the very back of her gum, behind her wisdom tooth, that had started to take root. She hadn’t felt a thing, and was mortified!

Broke my tooth on a mint last week, half the bloody tooth cracked off. Thank god for face masks as was on the way to meet a client!

Dropped a scorching hot baked potato straight out of the oven onto my foot, I was barefoot at the time. The skin split and the fleshy bit stuck to my big toe.

When I was a kid I sat down on the sofa with a plate of hot spag Bol and it slid right off the plate onto my knee. I was wearing shorts so it hurt a lot! A trip to the burns unit and you can still see the scar 15 years later!

I've sprained my wrist chopping an onion tonight. Currently have an ice pack on it to ease the swelling. I do have some hypermobile joints but this is the most stupid injury I've had for a while.

I know this thread is a couple of months old but just found it after burning the roof of my mouth off with a MUSHROOM, hot from the frying pan after being cooked with butter and garlic. I just couldn’t wait! Totally learnt my lesson as it bloody hurts and I still can’t eat properly or drink coffee 5 days later.

I also almost choked to death on a baby potato. As soon as I got it in my mouth, it dived into the back of my throat and I seriously thought I was done for but luckily a bit of wangling from DH and it came out. Horrifying!

Be careful in your kitchens and at your dinner tables, kids .

While I'm here I've just been reminded my I was sat with my mums friend on a flight to Turkey about 8 years ago & she bit into a bread roll, I heard a loud crunch looked at her and she immediately began crying, it had taken 2 of her teeth CLEAN OUT! I laughed so much I couldn't even breathe she just sat in stunned silence for the rest of the flight, had a full 2 week holiday before she could return home and see her dentist. She had awful luck on that holiday and came home with quite a few minor injuries.

Did you really laugh at your Mum's friend losing 2 teeth?? That's awful...

I spilt scalding hot coffee down my front. I still have a scar on my spare tyre years later.

Almost died when I was 3, choking on a flump marshmallow, then mere weeks later almost died a second time choking on bacon rind. First time my mother panicked and whipped me out of the pram so fast the flump shot out.
Bacon rind apparently everyone at the table panicked, but my uncle very calmly stood up, picked me up, held me upside down and thwacked me until the rind dislodged.
The 80s eh... when kids just ate what the adults ate

More recently I have an exciting V shaped thumb scar from the typical avocado stoning injury, and a few years back got a sardine bone stuck in my throat at a tapas bar in Seville. Started gagging, only for, at the exact same moment, a man at the other side of the bar, to collapse fully unconscious to the floor. (Turned out he was very very ill)- leaving my then-boyfriend to deal with me gagging, retching and hacking like a cat with a furball.
