Siderney_Mello_Pops Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 According to a case report in the New Zealand Medical Journal, announced in August, yet another person has swallowed whole a standard-size toothbrush. (A 15-year-old girl, running with the toothbrush in her mouth, tripped and fell, and her gag reflex did the rest.)

TonyMcC Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I have to swallow an endoscope camera every two years which I do quite easily. Getting something like a toothbrush as far as the stomach would not be a problem as it is a fairly straight run. Sword swallowers use this feature. However getting a toothbrush through the small intenstine might be a real problem as it is long, thin and quite convoluted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza2002 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think you'd be suprised at what people have been reported to swallow... http://www.x-raytechnicianschools.org/the-25-weirdest-things-eaten-by-a-human/ Swallowing someone elses false teeth while kissing does seem a little odd!
