Have you ever swallowed something inadvertently?

Half asleep in the kitchen this morning, without my glasses, I glanced down and thought, ‘what’s that doing there’ ....just about to pick it up and wash it down with a glass of water when I realised it was this little fella !

Yes, a whole menthol cough drop. Bad move on my part. Very uncomfortable for a long time until it worked it’s way down.

I accidentally swallowed one whole a few times but no problem...went down easily.

I can swallow a handful of pills and vitamins with no problem either and some of those are like horse pills.

My poor grandmother couldn’t take the smallest pill, she’d have to crush them and mix with something on a spoon.

I’m very OCD about what goes in my mouth...no mistakes.

If a get a med from the pharmacy and they’re using a different company and the pill is a different shape or color I look it up on pill identifier before I’ll take it.

I've managed to swallow a fungus gnat or two when they swarm in the spring.

The first time I accidentally swallowed a whole ice cube, I think I was about 8. Not thinking, I panicked- and started to cry . My mother just shook her head at me and said, "so... what do you think will happen?" It dawned on me then... how stupid could I be?

Funny....I still kind of worry about swallowing a seed in case a tree grows in my stomach. :)
 
I was out briskly walking one day breathing through my mouth and swallowed some kind of bug. It was still wiggling around in my throat and I was gagging and coughing and trying to get it up. It's a good thing nobody saw me or they would have thought I was dying, the way I was acting about a silly bug.

Oh dear. Reminds me of that old nursery rhyme, "[FONT=arial, helvetica, homerton]There was an old woman who swallowed a fly"[/FONT]
 
This is rather disgusting. I got my practical nursing license from our county hospital. Back then the hospital provided free training in exchange for working while you learned. Being the low man on the totem pole we were given all the scut work. One evening they admitted a women about in her 50's. I think she was living on the streets. I was given the chore of cleaning her up. She wasn't exactly lucid and it was quite a task. I got to her toenails that were black from grime and as hard as granite. I chopped away and for some reason I had my mouth open a bit. One nail flew into my mouth and I swallowed it. I've had an aversion to anything to do with feet to this day.

When my hubby had his hip replaced he needed his toenails trimmed. I told him I'd do anything for him but toenails are out of the question. I got him a pair of long handle clippers.

Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside 'er....

Ruth, this has to be the worst! But reminds me of my deep respect for nurses.
 
I accidentally swallowed a penny once when I was a kid. :) Mom was worried, but gran said not to because it would pass. I didn't know what they meant.
 
It's not like I rode around all the time with my mouth wide open looking like a yawning alligator but there is no telling how many bugs I've swallowed while riding motorcycles.

I was walking one day and was going uphill. Because of this I was having to breath through my mouth and I inhaled a wasp. Before I knew what was happening, I had swallowed it and it stung my throat. My throat started swelling but I managed to make it home and treat the swelling before it got serious.

My goodness, that could have been very serious !
 
I was around ten, riding my bicycle. I was in a great mood, riding top speed, down Yates. Suddenly, a fly flew into my mouth, and I swallowed it. I can still feel it going down.
