Doctor's Warning: Metal Grill Brushes Pose Deadly Risk

Headline: Hidden Grill Hazard: Doctor Warns of Deadly Bristles Millions of people grill every summer, often unknowingly risking serious injury. Dr. Tania Elliott, a board-certified internal medicine specialist and allergist, recently shared a viral TikTok video highlighting the danger of metal grill brushes. Loose bristles from these brushes can easily detach and be ingested with food, leading to potentially fatal internal injuries. "The bristles can perforate your intestine, causing internal injuries and, in some cases, even death," says Dr. Elliott. She supports her warning with images of ingested bristles and comments from viewers who have experienced similar incidents. As a safer alternative, Dr. Elliott recommends using a cut onion or potato half to clean the grill, effectively removing debris without the risk of ingested metal. This simple yet crucial advice has garnered significant attention, underscoring the need for public awareness of this often-overlooked hazard.
