Medical System Warning Information
The medical system has now issued warnings regarding the use of metal bristle BBQ cleaners. The tiny wires break off from the brush and end up in the food, and are then passed into the digestive system where they get lodged. They are often trapped in the throat and neck region. The operation to remove the bristles is very painful and often unsuccessful.
