The pain got worse, and Christina realized that something was stuck in her throat. She went to an ear, nose and throat specialist who ended up pulling out a bristle from a grilling brush! Christina has taken to social media to spread the word!

The brush they had used to clean their grill was a Blue Rhino brush they had purchased at a Lowe’s Home Improvement store. The brush does come with a warning label that says anyone using the brush should check for loose bristles.
