Woman swallows piece of wire brush used to clean BBQ grill

Grilling season is in full swing.

Just be careful about those wire brushes.

Lots of people use them to clean the grill, but Yahoo reports a Connecticut woman had to be rushed to a hospital for emergency surgery on her intestines, because she had swallowed an inch-long piece of metal from a wire brush, without even knowing it.

It was apparently in her burger.

So, doctors say, rinse that grill before cooking.

And make sure you chew that burger thoroughly before swallowing.
