On November 29, a 21-year-old Spanish woman named Heizea de Galdakao found herself in a dangerous situation after trying to remove a piece of turkey stuck in her windpipe with a toothbrush.

Why did he swallow the toothbrush?

Heizea documented the terrifying event in a detailed report submitted to the Metropolitan of Madrid, stating that he found himself in an alarming situation while having a snack due to hunger.

Recounting the incident, he noted that his father’s inability to help was due to his confinement to a wheelchair due to an Achilles tendon injury. Faced with an urgent need to act, Heizea took matters into her own hands and opted to use a toothbrush as an improvised treatment.

“I thought I was suffocating. I couldn’t breathe,” he told Reuters.

What happened when you grabbed the toothbrush to eliminate the choking sensation?

Heizea’s desperation led her to grab her eight-inch-long toothbrush in an attempt to remove the impediment. However, in an unexpected turn of events, her toothbrush slid down her throat, leaving her stunned.

“I tried to get it out, but I couldn’t; it just went ‘glub’; it was sucked in and there was nothing I could do.” “I tried to grab it by the bristles, but once the obstruction was removed, it just sucked in,” he continued.

How did you remove the toothbrush?

Heizea’s family rushed her to the hospital, where surgeons removed the toothbrush during a 40-minute anesthesia surgery. Heizea felt no pain during the entire encounter, despite the presence of her brush inside her.
