Food Emergency 101: When Fish Bone Says “Not Today!”
There are food emergencies… and then there’s that one when a fish bone gets stuck in your throat. You’ll drink water like a fish, swallow eba like you’re training for competition, even lick salt out of desperation—but peace will not come. 😂
As kids, we were told to swallow heavy morsel of eba or eat more drink water; somehow it feel like the fish bone stay there and be laughing at your effort
I remember when my dad swallowed a full bone; yes, a bone, a big one and somehow he didn’t feel it till it was halfway stuck. How his tongue missed it, only heaven knows. Long story short: it was removed, but that bone became a family trophy. Displayed in our parlour like medal 🥇. And trust African parents, every visitor heard the story; like it just happened yesterday.
PS. Licking salt do work but you won't still feel comfortable
