Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I might have a problem

I am amazed at the number of posts on this site (among others) that ask for legal or medical advice, instead of contacting an attorney or doctor. Opinions on those topics vary as widely and as uninformedly here as those concerning which cartridge for dangerous game.

That is all.

Those work too. But with humans you have to shove that up your ass and keep it there for at least week in order to draw the metal through your intestines.

Oh, certainly, I recognize that mine was one incident out of the 20k cases I’ve done. The kind you always remember because it’s the rare and unusual; never saw anything similar. And that as an ER doc you’ve daily seen people who’ve shown the culinary discretion of a Wolverine, intentional or not.

But when I thought of the steel bristles of my grill brushes I remembered that small but sharp fish bone..

Nana says “eat some hush puppies” that’ll push the bones and nails out.

Hell I didn't even see that other post, which is similar to mine.

I guess I went through this thread too quickly without reading everything.

Oh well. Beer is a good thing.

Don't forget the bonus is the clean patch.

I've learned over nearly 20 years that the Campfire actually has enough people with the right experience that you get pretty good advice from the been-there-done-that folks. My first reaction was to assume that if it got past the esophagus, I was pretty much in the clear. If I'd left Saturday PM and gone to the ER, there really wasn't anything they could do except sit and wait for something bad to happen. After 4 hours, it was probably past the duodenum and into the small intestine. The reason I contacted the Campfire was I was double-checking to see if anyone had any dread experience.

As it is, from the volume and instances, I can fairly safely guess that anything that might have been in there has departed safely via the Southern portal.

While there are a large number of really mean-spirited folks on here that find a way to spew venom at every opportunity, I will say that the overall level of advice on here is top-notch. Of the former group, it is pretty easy to spot them. They're like a cow that's been feasting on green apples. They just can't help it.

My mother was possessed with a fabulous memory for this sort of thing. I'm not quite sure where she picked it all up, but it was probably from the Welsh farmers on her Dad's side. My guess is she picked it up in kitchen talk among the old women when she went visiting. You give her a situation, and she could recall a similar situation from generations back and quickly spout cause, symptoms, treatment and outcome. Most of it was before doctors or modern disease theory was a thing. It wasn't folk medicine per se- However it did include a bunch of things you don't normally find at the drug store anymore. She's still alive, but most of that knowledge is now gone, except what I've retained. In years past, I would have turned to her.

On this august forum, what y'all lack in depth, you more than make up for in breadth.

Well, glad you are apparently well and didn’t have to cancel a Turkey hunt. 😀

I had a friend that swallowed a toothpick without knowing. He was in his recliner and fell asleep, yes after drinking. I think it took 2 or more days. It was fairly serious and required surgery. Seems like it showed up in the intestine at some point.

I still recommend the Vietnamese enema. Any nail shop can do one if you go in and ask.

Well Dang,.. I reckon all turned out ok for you, damned if I didn’t just do the same thing eating a reheated rib that I cooked yesterday. Bit down on a stainless wire about 5/8 of an inch long. We used the brush right before the meat was thrown on. I’m gonna be looking a lot closer from now on.

I smoked 3 butts yesterday. I still use a heavy steel bristle to clean with.


I throw my grates down in the gravel afterward to finish knocking anything off and do a double eyeball exam.


The thing I have watch out for, there were several bristles that went into the bottom ash pan of my smoker.*IF* I was to go dump that into a ditch, (charcoal and ash) my mutts would go pilfer through it and they’ve been known to eat those chunks of hardwood coal, because of the drippings and sauces.

So I thought of Ol Shaman yesterday and scooped all that mess out and it went into a trash bag for otto the gobbitch man

Shaman last seen Apr 30.

Hope he aint in a hospital with a bleeding bunghole issue.

Best wishes Shaman.
Get well soon.
