Ha...this is great...

According to a study by Dusseldorf University Hospital in Germany, these are the objects adults are most likely to swallow by accident:          

 

#1.)  Fish bones make up between 9% and 45% of all accidentally-swallowed objects.   

#2.)  Chicken bones are somewhere between 8% and 40% of all accidentally-swallowed objects.   

#3.)  And dentures . . . which can come loose while people are eating . . . are somewhere between 4% and 18% of accidentally-swallowed items.

#4).  Coins weren't mentioned in the Germany survey . . . but other doctors said they would be next on the list.

#5).  And toothpicks can cause problems too . . . because they don't show up on x-rays.

 

Luckily, things that get swallowed by accident pass through the body without a problem 80% of the time.  Only 1% of swallowed items require surgery.
