Bruce Y. Lee, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who wrote about the challenge for Forbes, cited two separate cases of women who accidentally ingested condoms. One suffered from pneumonia, while the other got a small piece of the condom lodged in her appendix and had to undergo surgery. This is a bad idea, kids. The most important thing we can do as parents is communicate with kids and keep an eye on their social media presence so we know when they’re up to no good. Oh, and it never hurts to reiterate that condoms, of all things, don’t belong up their noses.
