A 9-year-old girl was left fighting for her life after she accidentally ate the bristle from a BBQ cleaning brush tucked inside a bacon and egg roll.
An Australian woman is warning other parents about a cleaning tool for barbecues after her nine-year-old daughter almost died after eating a bacon and egg roll. Kristen Saunders from Newcastle shared on social media that her nine-year-old daughter was served the sandwich at a venue in July. Along with the food, she also swallowed a small wire-bristle from a barbecue brush.
The barbecue brush pierced her daughter's oesophagus and pushed into the carotid artery in her neck, reported ABC News.
Ms Saunders told ABC News, "She was munching away, then she started to feel like she was choking." She added, "I think like most parents, we're we're like, 'You'll be fine, have some water, it'll settle down'."
