Editor’s note: This episode contains frequent and mildly graphic mentions of poop. It may cause giggles in children, and certain adults.
When Dr. Andy Tagg was a toddler, he swallowed a Lego piece. Actually, two, stuck together.
“I thought, well, just put it in your mouth and try and get your teeth between the little pieces,” he says. The next thing he knew, it went down the hatch.
As an emergency physician at Western Health, in Melbourne, Australia, Andy says he meets a lot of anxious parents whose children succumbed to this impulse. The vast majority of kids, like Andy, simply pass the object through their stool within a day or so. Still, Andy wondered whether there was a way to spare parents from needless worry.
Sure, you can reassure parents one-by-one that they probably don’t need to come to the emergency room—or, worse yet, dig through their kid’s poop—in search of the everyday object.
But Andy and five other pediatricians wondered, is there a way to get this message out … through science?
